involvement in the International Coastal Clean-up Day (ICC) that will be taking

“Since its inception, more than 17 million
volunteers have collected close to 1,6 million

kilograms of litter globally – making our coasts
cleaner and our oceans healthier. As a result of the
success of this annual event, we decided to turn

the entire week into a nationwide awareness
campaign that encourages citizens of all
walks of life, ages and backgrounds to make
a conscious effort to pick up and remove 21
litter from their streets, neighbourhoods,
schools, inland water sources and streams
or nearby beaches,” Douw explains.
