\"tci-shines-2013-1\"Well done to our dedicated environmentally-conscious families who rose early this morning to participate in the 5th annual Earth Day TCI Shines Clean-up campaign.\u00a0 Thank you for taking part in this community event to help keep our island ‘beautiful by nature’.<\/p>\n

Joining forces with a group of volunteers from The Point Grace Resort, the litter-grabbing team traveled the route between the school and the Graceway Sports Centre and TCIFA soccer field.\u00a0 This route is frequently used by our children on their way to use these sporting facilities as part of our P.E programme.<\/p>\n

In all, over a dozen giant rubbish bags were filled with litter!\u00a0 On a positive note this seemed less than when we collected along this same route back in October 2011, but still it was a disappointment to find so many drink bottles, snack packets and food containers littering our local community. \u00a0 Our young helpers just couldn’t understand why the litter was there.\u00a0 “People should put it in the bin!” they remarked.<\/p>\n

The Earth Day TCI Shines campaign is organised by the Turks and Caicos Hotel and Tourism Association (TCHTA)as a part of efforts to keep the island of Providenciales clean.\u00a0 This year over 20 hotels, resorts, businesses and schools supported the campaign.\u00a0 Thank you to Nicholette Thomas of the TCHTA for organising the event and for connecting us with the lovely people from The Point Grace Resort, whose team was led by Isheka Thomas.<\/p>\n
