Day 2: Beach Clean Up

Good day! Project Orion III did a Beach clean up this morning after Breakfast at Kuala Bahru. 6 members made their way to the Beach by taking a boat ride whilst the others took a Car to the Beach.


Boat ride! :D

The team picked up Plastic Bottles, Glass Bottles and other rubbish that were littered around the area. We cleaned up about 500 meters of the Beach and collected about 12 trash bags worth of Plastic Bottles, 5 bags of Glass Bottles and about 8 bags of the other types of litters. After which, we made our way back to Kampong Mangkuk, together with all the items that we have collected at Kuala Bahru.
