Placencia Peninsula Monthly Trash Clean-Up

“We Do Not Inherit the Earth from Our Ancestors; We Borrow It from Our Children”

— author unknown

In recent years, more scientific studies are illustrating the harm and negative impact trash has on the health of the environment, wildlife, and surrounding communities. A clean environment is beneficial to the entire ecosystem, and who doesn’t love a clean beach or community! We understand that every little bit counts and hope that our efforts inspire in others the value of removing trash from the environment, as well as properly disposing of trash (and now recycling!), as doing so has multiple benefits, from making the community healthier to saving wildlife that would otherwise become ill or die from these man-made items. 

CRC has been leading clean-ups with partners such as Turtle Inn and various other community members on the Placencia Peninsula since September 2016. Our efforts have inspired a new generation of youth who want a clean community, such as in Seine Bight. CRC mobilized this energy in working with the youth in Seine Bight by creating pollution awareness signs made out of recycled material that are displayed in various locations around Seine Bight.

Community or beach clean-ups happen at 1x/month.  We seek donations for gloves, trash bags, and snacks for participants (particularly the youth!). If you wish to join, we would appreciate your help. However, if donating your time is not a possibility, then we could always use trash bags, gloves, and snack donations. Follow our social media for updates on the next trash clean-up!
