Think Globally & Act Locally-Beach cleaning and awareness program


Leo club of University of Moratuwa organized a joint project with Leo club of Kesbawa and Leo club of Papiliyana Metro of beach cleaning and awareness program on post consumer plastic waste management with collaboration of central environmental authority on 25th of August at Mt-Lavinia beach.

It was done by distributing leaflets while cleaning the beach environment by collecting plastic and other waste materials.



We were distribute leaflets among the people who were at the beach during the time period of 2.00 pm to 6.00 pm.There were two sets of leaflets in Sinhala and English.These leaflets were consist of the methods of accruing the environmental pollution,the effects of those pollution and the methods to overcome them.


The location was very applicable to this project due to high urban pollution of this area. Mt.Lavinia Municipal area is the highest environment polluting area of Sri Lanka by various methods. So, environment pollution which occurred from plastic is mostly high in this area rather than other area. So, we tried to do some positive idea of post consumer plastic waste management by dividing leaflets.
