The Body Shop Annual Beach Cleanup Starts A sea Change


As country coordinator for The Ocean Conservancy in the United States, The Body Shop in West Malaysia organises and sponsors the Annual Beach Cleanup in conjunction with the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) on an annual basis since 1992. Since then, we have experienced a consistent increase in the number of volunteers participating in this cleanup initiative – from 102 volunteers in 1992 to 400 volunteers in 2006; and just over 500 volunteers in 2009; citing an increase in youth participation - a strong indication of more and more young people subscribing to this world’s largest volunteer activity and being conscious about the environment.Over the years, The Body Shop® has garnered support from sponsorship partners on a long-term basis with The Coca-Cola Company; and short-term with corporates like Environmental Resource Management and Dow Chemicals; and tertiary institutions like Taylor’s University College, Monash University and Sunway University College.During the 2009 Annual Beach Cleanup held at over 10 seafront locations, volunteers managed to collect over 1.6 tonne of rubbish and debris from the beach. The official amount of 23,775 pieces of rubbish included common picnic items like food wrappers and containers; plastic bags, cigar tips, beverage bottles; with cigarettes and cigarette filters topping the list of Top 10 Items Collected.The awaited Annual Beach Cleanup for 2010 is back!Sign up now and be part of change!
