Beach Blitz: Volunteers Tackle Plastic Tide
11 Jan
Summary
- Volunteers focused on removing plastic waste and debris.
- The drive aimed to protect coastal environments and reduce pollution.
- Initiative supported by MRPL-ONGC's environmental social responsibility.
Someshwara Beach was the focus of this month's cleanliness shramadan, organized by the Ramakrishna Mission Swacch Mangaluru Abhiyan. The special drive concentrated on clearing accumulated plastic waste, bottles, and non-recyclable debris from the shoreline, aiming to raise awareness about protecting the coastal environment.
Led by faculty members and supported by senior volunteers, numerous student participants worked diligently to remove various types of waste washed ashore. This collective effort underscores the importance of youth involvement in environmental preservation initiatives and the critical need to reduce plastic pollution.
The successful shramadan was conducted in association with Swacch Mangaluru Prathishtana and received crucial support from MRPL-ONGC as part of its environmental social responsibility program. Staff from Bantwal Materials Recovery Facility and representatives from Repurpose Global and Sattva Knowledge Reality Trust also contributed to the waste segregation and transport.
