What is e-Sport GOMI?
e-Sport GOMI is an innovative initiative that merges competitive video gaming—known as e-sports—with recreational clean-up activities. Participants form teams of three to compete against each other, collecting various types and weights of litter within a designated area for a set amount of time. Points are awarded based on the amount and type of trash collected, thus promoting teamwork and friendly competition while raising awareness about the burgeoning issue of marine debris.
This event uniquely integrates elements of traditional sports into a new form of environmental service, energizing local communities and encouraging participants of all ages to engage with their surroundings and the environment.
