Take the pledge to help turn the tide on ocean trash – mark your calendars, set your alarms and give 30 minutes of your time for a place that gives you hours of enjoyment throughout the year.
The Department of Environment and Maritime Affairs (DEMA) will be once again spearheading a Coastal Clean-up in support of the Ocean Conservancy-led International Coastal Clean-up Day.
Be there at 7am at the Children’s Park in the Bight, this Saturday 21 st September . Bring gloves and a bags if possible.
Over half a million volunteers participated around the world, covering a distance of nearly 18,000 mile, collecting over 10 million pounds of rubbish!
Last year in Provo, we collected 63 bags of trash, consisting of beer cans, glass bottles, plastic bottles, cans and other general debris. Myself and two Provo Primary families joined in the effort of this initiative. This year we hope that many more teachers and families will support the event.
