The recent rains in
Chennai have flushed out tonnes of garbage from the city's rivers and other
water bodies into the ocean, which got thrown back by the Sea, onto our once
beautiful beach shores.
Not only the
streets of Chennai but the beaches are also now filled with tonnes of garbage. This
garbage will slowly mix into the ocean and affect the lives of thousands of sea
animals and birds, which have a direct impact on our eco-system. What goes
around comes around. Also it will significantly affect the coming turtle
nesting season, if our shores aren't cleaned up by that time.
Chennai Trekking Club is planning a major beach cleanup drive on Sunday, Dec 27, 2015, from 6 am - 9 am.
This is a call to volunteers
to join forces with us to restore the beauty of Chennai's beaches and give a
helping hand to those beautiful Ridley Turtles which return every year to our
coast to breed.
Both individuals
and Groups/NGOs/Corporates are welcome to join us.
Gloves and other
necessary materials will be provided to Individuals and NGO's.
Corporates have to
procure the necessary materials for their employees. Details of things that
need to be procured will be shared with registered corporates.
As a initial step
we are planning to conduct this cleanup in two beaches, viz: Broken Bridge and
Foreshore Estate. Both these beaches are piled with tonnes of garbage.
Spread the word
with your friends & colleagues and make them join forces.
Lets show the true
spirit of Chennai to the whole world once again.
