We are excited to launch the 7th year edition of Chennai Coastal Cleanup, CTC's major annual campaign to create awareness on our growing garbage (plastic) footprint and the negative impact on our environment and own health. Theme for this year is "Garbage Overload".
Just like last year we are planning 2 full months of various initiatives to sensitize the public on a greener tomorrow. The final main event at the end of this 2 month period will be a major beach cleanup which last year involved 10 major cities, 5000+ volunteers, 150 Corporates/NGOs/Educational institutions. More then 50 news publications have covered previous editions of mission CCC.
Last year we restored beaches, lakes and rivers out across South India including Pondicherry, Hyderabad, Madurai, Dharmapuri, Coimbatore, Vizag, Thanjavur, Thirunvelli and Kaniyakumari through collaboration with various nature loving NGO-s. This year more cities are joining the green wave!
