On March 25, 2023, we hosted our monthly beach clean up, and it was a success with the participation of 14 volunteers. The group covered up to a 400m stretch of beach, and they were able to pick up 60kg of trash from the beach.
Most of the waste collected during the event were food wrappers and small plastic bits that were mixed with the sand and hidden in the vegetation, which made the cleaning process slow and tedious. This highlights the importance of being mindful of our waste and disposing of it correctly to help prevent it from polluting our environment.
We do encourage everyone to take their trash with them when they go camping or for a picnic and to dispose of it correctly. The organization also reminds us to always try to leave the place better than how we found it.
The next clean up event is scheduled to take place soon, and anyone interested in volunteering can keep an eye out for the announcement of the date and time. By working together and taking small steps, we can help keep our beaches and oceans clean and healthy for generations to come.
