World Environment Day - Locals clean up Mannar beach

Locals participated  in a clean up operation of Mullaitivu beach to mark World Environment Day today.

 05 June 2022

The clean up was organised by Karitas, a non-governmental organisation and aimed to  encourage locals and tourists  to keep the area free from polythene and other plastic debris. 

A similar clean up took places earlier in the week in Mannar. 

This year, the "Only One Earth" campaign for World Environment Day is calling for collective environmental action and encouraging everyone to live sustainably.
