Social Project: Beach Cleaning at Pantai Remis, Jeram

(October 2023)

On 18th October 2023, 24 volunteers under Yayasan Kossan were involved in a one-day beach cleaning event at Pantai Remis in Jeram, Kuala Selangor, joined by the Majlis Perbandaran Kuala Selangor (MPKS) Officer, Mr. Alagan. They gathered early in the morning at 8AM with light breakfast and morning exercise as a nice warm-up to the big task ahead, which was to clear the beach from as many rubbish they could collect as possible.

Dressed in white and black, the volunteers armed themselves with large green rubbish bags and split themselves into three groups to tackle three locations. They collected plastic cups, plastic food containers, straws, and plastic bottles on the ground and which were trapped between large boulders lining the beach. By the end of the day, they managed to collect a total of 101.41kg of rubbish, equivalent to the weight of 10 car tires!

This event showcases how dedicating one day could have a huge impact on keeping our beaches clean. Hence, we welcome passionate individuals to join our future beach cleaning efforts. By volunteering, you can make a meaningful impact on the environment by preserving these pristine shores for future generations. Together, we can create cleaner and healthier beaches for all to enjoy. Hope to see you next time!
