Every scrap of waste collected from a beach means less garbage polluting our oceans, posing a severe threat to marine life!
Pollution has wreaked havoc on Veli Beach. Unkempt beaches endanger public health, reduce property values, and stifle economic growth in the community. Clean-Up Drives encourage people to manage the trash effectively through appropriate garbage disposal, segregation, recycling, or reusing goods effectively. ‘Clean Shoreline-The Sea of Change‘ turns every bit of trash into data that apprise governments, ocean activists, and companies. This information has benefited from adequate waste segregation, management and recycling by installing bins, single-use plastic restrictions, beach beautification, community awareness and informed municipal waste policies.
We would also like to preserve healthy sea sides through effective waste management. We have collected 6655+ kilograms of waste from our previous clean-ups, of which glass bottles and plastics constitute 71 percent. All these wastes could have been prevented from ending up on the beach if proper disposal facilities were available. Installation of permanent waste bins and proper segregation and recycling is the logical solution to protect our oceans.
