Enthusiastic members gathered at Deep Water Bay
Beach, armed with gloves and trash bags, where they started collecting trash
along the coastline, before gradually making their way to Repulse Bay.
Mas said they focused on removing plastic bottles, Styrofoam
containers and various other plastic waste materials that threaten marine life
and pollute Hong Kong’s beautiful beaches.

“The cleanup not only aimed to beautify our local
environment but also served as a powerful reminder of the impact of plastic
pollution on our oceans,” said
Mas.
“Through this initiative, we hope to inspire others
to join the fight against environmental degradation and to promote sustainable
practices within our communities.”

He added the activity made the members realize even more the value of community involvement in environmental conservation, and of contributing to having a cleaner and healthier planet for future generations.
"Nakakataba ng puso yung habang nagpupulot kami ng mga basura ay pinapasalamatan kami nung mga residenteng nakakasalubong namin," Mas said. (It warmed the heart to hear residents thanking us as we picked up trash).
They committed to carrying out more clean-up drives in future.
