Activity 2: Massive Beach Clean-up on Sunday, May 1st 2011

Our once beautiful And clean goan beaches are now getting destroyed, due to the carelessnes of tourists and locals alike.
On the 1st of may , 3g - Goa going green , organised a beach clean up at Colva beach from 4 pm to 7 pm. 45 volunteers mainly consisting of youth from different places around margao came for the clean up.
Members of the Green team,consisting of school students from Benaulim also participated. they cleared up the waste starting from sernabatim to Betalbatim. The majority of the garbage consisted of beedi packets and plastic carry bags and peoples old chappals. 26 such bags of trash were collected.

The bags were then set aside to be collected by a government employed garbage contractor who is in charge of maintaining the garbage disposal at the beach.

The main reason behind the filthy beaches is the absence of dustbins. Most of the tourists complain that they had no where to throw their waste and hence just leave it behind. Setting up of proper dustbins and providing for segregation of waste would go a long way in preserving our beautiful Goa.....!!
