Activity 3: Beach clean up on 22nd May 2011

Our Third beach clean up was held on the 22nd of May, from 4pm to 7pm, at the Taj beach-Trinity-Benaulim stretch. About 35 volunteers, mainly the youth, were a part of the clean-up. About 28 huge garbage bags were cleared off.

We met at the Trinity beach at 4pm and formed 2 groups, each set out in opposite direction. Collection of garbage was carried out along with segregation. Garbage was segregated into degradable and non-degrable.

It is a shame to see the amount of garbage lying around the beaches and the fact that the authorities responsible to clear the same are doing absolutely nothing about it. Also, not a single trash can is to be seen on any of our beaches, and even the few that are present are overflowing with garbage and are attracting all sorts of insects, rodents, germs etc. Its high time trash cans are introduced on our beaches and are maintained well too.
