Join the #coronocleanupSA and win during the lockdown
South Africa’s extensive coronavirus lockdown is placing a strain not just on us as individuals 😷 but on our waste management infrastructure. Excessive litter is starting to pile up on our streets, beaches, waterways and ultimately oceans. Considering that 80% of the marine pollution stems from land-based sources, no intervention during this #lockdown period could mean that the excess litter will eventually end up in our oceans too. So join us in caring with the planet with #coronacleanupSA during the #lockdown, and help us make a difference today!🌍
A big shout out to our unsung heroes:♻️ the waste pickers, recyclers, beach clean-up initiatives and many others for digging out and sorting rubbish to ensure that plastic ends up in the right places rather than clogging up our landfill and choking our sea creatures.🐳🐢🐠
What we are asking you to do: 🛍️On your next morning walk, run or jog, grab a bag, put on your gloves and pick up a few pieces of litter from your curbside. Remember, safety first, so place all gloves and litter collected into the nearest bin. 🧤 🚮
