After Typhoon Mario
literally rained on their plans last week, the International Coastal Cleanup
(ICC) is finally pushing through today in Zambales.
The ICC is one of
the largest volunteer efforts in the world for ocean preservation and is celebrated
annually every 3rd Saturday of September. We can be proud of the fact in the
2012 ICC event, the Philippines had the second largest volunteer group with 143,946
participants. And we can thank Lighthouse Marina Resort for that, together with
several other organizations which includes such as the International Yachting
Fellowship of Rotarians (IYFR) Philippine Fleet, Metro Pacific Investments Foundation (MPIF) in cooperation with Ocean Conservancy and ICC Philippines.
The
goal for today’s activity is to continue creating awareness of our environmental
problems with regards to ocean, river and waterway trash and educate people on
how to change this situation. Education and lifestyle changes would prove
pivotal in creating this change. Kudos to all the volunteers that will take
part of the coastal cleanup today!
