Beach Cleaning

We went to east coast today (1st september) with some other classmates to pick up litter. We had to take the mrt then a bus to get there. Common litter that we found were cigarette butts, plastic bags, styrofoam cup/plates, newspaper, fragment of glass, and cans. Did you know that when the tide comes in, all of this litter would be swept into the sea, polluting the ocean?

There were many recreational activities going on at that time, yachting, building sand castles. The following are pictures that we took during our beach cleaning session :) enjoy

Please do not dirty the beach. It serves as a relaxing place to us humans in the day. While a home to marine life at night. Please do your part and keep the beach clean. We would like to thank all the classmates who went with us for beach cleaning. We hope to clean the beach again or check out places with many marine creatures in Singapore, for example, Chek Jawa.
[we might also want to join in the IYOR activities to conserve corals too ;DD]



With lots of love,
