Beach Cleanup Initiative
Beaches are more than just beautiful landscapes; they are crucial ecosystems that provide habitat for countless marine species and serve as cherished recreational areas for people. Unfortunately, these coastal environments face significant threats from pollution, especially from plastic debris. That's where our Beach Cleanup Initiative with Ecoroots comes into play.
The Beach Cleanup Initiative, in collaboration with Ecoroots, aims to protect and preserve coastal environments by removing trash and debris from beaches. The initiative also seeks to raise awareness about pollution and promote sustainable practices. Volunteers of all ages are invited to join Beach Cleanup Day, where they can contribute to making our beaches cleaner and greener, while learning about the importance of environmental conservation
On Saturday, we invite all community members to participate in our annual cleanup event. This initiative aims to beautify our local parks and streets, making our neighborhood a cleaner and more enjoyable place for everyone. Volunteers will gather at the community center at 9 AM, where we will provide supplies such as gloves, trash bags, and refreshments.
