175 volunteers responsibly collected and disposed of 1060 kg of non-biodegradable waste in Ermakulam.

At The Social Captains, we believe in the power of collective action to bring about meaningful change. On April 23, 2023, as part of @gooddeedsday, we partnered with Cochin Corporation, Suchitwa Mission, Volunteer For India, and Bhumi to organize a Beach Cleanup Drive in Kochi. This initiative aimed to restore the beauty of Fort Kochi Beach while raising awareness about the importance of responsible waste management.

The response was overwhelming! Over 175 dedicated volunteers joined forces, dedicating their time and energy to making a difference. Their commitment and hard work led to the removal of an astonishing 1160+ kg of non-biodegradable waste from the premises of Fort Kochi Beach. This effort not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the beach but also contributed to the preservation of marine ecosystems and public health.

The event was more than just a cleanup—it was a call to action. Volunteers experienced firsthand the pressing need to reduce, reuse, and recycle, reinforcing the significance of sustainable practices in our daily lives. From plastic bottles and discarded fishing nets to other hazardous waste, each collected item served as a reminder of the urgent need for environmental responsibility.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the volunteers and partner organizations who made this initiative a resounding success. Your dedication and passion inspire us to continue our mission of fostering positive environmental change.

This cleanup drive was just the beginning. Let’s continue working together towards a cleaner, greener future. Small actions lead to big changes—let’s be the change our planet needs!
