"When I started to think about this project, in the first days of January, I would never have imagined this moment.
I was walking on the beach, I just wanted to photograph the sunset, when a large patch of colored plastic presented itself to the view. The first thought (being a Local Guide) was to organize a meetup to clean the beach.
Yes, I still calling this “a project”, because it is my vision of the Idea: a project, for building up a better world. Half million of people, in this community, a lot of little drops to fill the sea.
To make this idea become true is our target."
(Ermes Toun)
Hello local guides, here I m sharing a great experience of a wonderful Clean The Beach meetup, which was not only a Meetup, but we all learned alot practically.
#cleantheworld is a local guide project which was started by Mr. @ErmesT Toun and now many of local guides like @IlankovanT , @DavidTito @AlejandraMaria , and many super local guides are running this great campaign in thier countries all over the world.
First I would like to introduce very nice people, my friends and local guides, who made that meetup successful and effective.
As I was thinking about clean the beach meetup, I discussed it with my fellow local guides who are now great friends of mine @SharjeelS and Abdul Raheem @ujjan . They agreed and gave some great suggestion regarding different beaches for example the place where we can do the clean the beach initiative.
So we choose the beach to clean that was Tenaga Beach near Mir Pur sakro, that place is famous for green energy plants and many of plants are producing green wind energy, which is environment friendly and helpful to clean our beautiful planet.
Our journey started from Usmania Restaurant at sharp 08:00 am as we planned, than our first stop for breakfast was Gulshan Hadeed, from where we had to pick @Khalid_Shahani who was fourth participant of our “let’s Save our oceans” meetup.
It was almost two hours drive where Local Guide Abdul Raheem Ujjan, (Manager admin Tenaga Generasi Limited) Welcomes and then we visited that part of the beach that needed cleaning.
Green Energy is best for
environment :
There I saw green energy production by wind, first time in my life, huge blades of more than hundred wind turbines had a rhythmic sound.
“Wind power is the use of air flow through wind turbines to provide the mechanical power to turn electric generators. Wind power, as an alternative to burning fossil fuels, is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation, consumes no water, and uses little land. The net effects on the environment are far less problematic than those of fossil fuel sources.”
Local Guide mr Abdul Raheem Ujjan describe more about the green energy :
"There are five different companies including his company in this area, they are providing 250 mega watt electricity, which is consuming in all over Pakistan."
Cleaning The Beach :
Water was chilled and clean, and I was happy to see that, this beach is still save from oil pollution by the ships and tankers.
But the sides of the beach was full of plastic bottles, plastic bags and panaflex banners wastage, which was surely came here with the waves and winds.
But still we have a question, who throws it in the sea ? Surely it was thrown by a human like you and me. But why we are still not understand the sensitivity of the issue that what we are throwing in the sea, it’s return back to us in the form of the food to us.
And how much it is harmful for our Marine life and for us also, if we can understand, than we never throw any wastage in our oceans.
There we bring bags for collecting wastage, which was full in the end of cleaning the beach, we tried to collect wastage around one kilometer of that area, and by the time we picked all of the plastic bottles (around sixty to seventy small and large water bottles) and other every waste material from there which was there . We bring that waste with us, and handover it to concern recycling department of Tenaga.
After cleaning we feel one very noteable thing in us, that it was something which was coming from our inside, it was kind of satisfaction or what? may be it was happiness or joy that we did a small effort from our side for our planet, and this was our first time, but after this meetup, we all were agreed to continue this journey of Clean The World program in future.
Plantation of mangroves :
There we heard an amazing update by Abdul Raheem Ujjan and Sharjeel that last month they planted 40,000 mangroves plants and 150 coconut trees in that area. We were happy to hear that still we have some great people who are taking care of environment and our planet.
These plants will definitely take part to maintain our climate and beauty of our beautiful world. And now definitely we need Clean and Green world, Clean and Green Pakistan. Thanks to Team Tenaga👏
