The Beach Clean-up
Waste has been a major factor affecting the nature surrounding us, the water bodies have majorly been a victim to the menace created by us, the people. Cleaning the aspects one after another would provide a beginning to a change, an action to the words, and a secure future for the generations to come ahead. So we at the Rotaract Club of CRCE decided to implement a Beach Cleanup drive.
The Beach Clean-up was conducted in collaboration with 'Change is us', on 24th October on the coasts of Girgaum Chowpatty. The volunteers started gathering near Café Ideal around 7:00 am. There were over 150 volunteers who participated in the cleanup drive. The event was carried out keeping all the covid-19 protocols and safety of the volunteers into consideration. A total of 100 minutes of cleanup was conducted by our volunteers. Time to time images were clicked during the entire event. After winding-up the clean up, snacks were distributed to all the volunteers. The event was concluded with a vote of thanks given by Shubh Mehta (Co-founder of Change is Us) and our President Rtr. Sifra Maria Biju.
The results of the cleanup were evident and were appreciated even by the visitors. Around 200-300 kg of waste was removed from the Girgaum coastal stretch. Our Beach cleanup project was like ripples in a pond. It aided in beach restoration and also prevented debris and plastic from flowing back into the sea.
