BABAG FALCONS COASTAL CLEANUP
The shores and coastal areas of mactan have vast amounts of waste due to the issue of dumping in areas where trash shouldn't be, the scouts who lived near these areas saw that action was needed immediately to restore the wildlife and the delicate ecosystem which resides in these areas. The scouts of Babag National High School organized a coastal cleanup at an area where trash was abundant.
The scouts of Babag National High School went to an area locally known as "Gothong". They then organised themselves into who collects biodegradable or non-biodegradable waste, starting from an area 6m away from the last house and ended in an intersecting road, an area of approximately 4,165m². The scouts managed to traverse through the dangerous terrain safely. Finally, the segregated garbage was stored at the back of the school and ready for disposal once the garbage truck arrives.
1500 beneficiaries are catered in this project as these beneficiaries are those who live by the coast I cleaned. The impact is very huge as this project not just cleans the coastal areas for the community to live in but also gives a clean habitat for animals to also live in. Also, this project will help many people in terms of good water sanitation. This project can also be in water preservation.
The learnings that I got from the project are that be disciplined in terms of disposing of your trash, don't just throw it everywhere as it can just cause pollution, it can be water, air, or land pollution. If there is time to be with nature, nurture and nourish just by doing it in simple ways just like cleaning the surroundings. I would make it better just by doing it casually and just remembering why and to whom I do it.
