DB Green

It is that time of year again when we get to make an even bigger impact with our local beach cleanup. By joining in and documenting all the rubbish that we collect from the beaches we can combine our data with 100,000s of other people all around the world to capture a snapshot of the health of our oceans and beaches.

The International Coastal Cleanup is organised by the Ocean Conservancy (www.oceanconservancy.org) and each year they produce a booklet with the global report from all the data they receive (to read more about this please follow this link http://www.oceanconservancy.org/site/PageServer?pagename=icc_report).

Please come and participate in this fun and worthwhile day. DB Green is organising the cleanup of two of our neighbouring beaches that are in need of some TLC.

Meeting Point - Nim Shue Wan beach (on the road to the Marina Club – look out for the DB Green sign on the fence) on SUNDAY 20th SEPTEMBER from 9-1pm.

What to bring – lots of family and friends! A refillable waterbottle (we have loads of water kindly donated by Hoi Yu), lots of sunscreen and sun protection and sturdy shoes that may get wet.

What we will give you – gloves, bags for collecting rubbish and importantly a data collection record sheet to note down ALL the rubbish you collect. We also have some rakes and tongs to use and on hand we have first aid facilities, a basic toilet and handwashing.

To celebrate afterwards, the wonderful team at Hemingway’s will be feeding us with a great BBQ on the beach.

We are looking forward to having as many people join us to make this another fantastic community day!
