Ocean plastic pollution is a global challenge, that requires collective efforts to mitigate its negative effects on the marine ecosystem.

Involving children in climate action empowers them to become active participants in shaping their future and addressing environmental challenges. By engaging them in activities such as sustainability projects, tree planting, or energy-saving initiatives, children gain a sense of agency and realize that their actions can make a difference. This empowerment instills a sense of responsibility and encourages them to be proactive environmental stewards throughout their lives.

Volunteer with us tomorrow, Saturday, September 16, 2023, at Suntan Beach, Badagry West, Lagos, to commemorate International Coastal Cleanup Day and World Cleanup Day. The time is 8 a.m.–11 a.m.

Collectively, let's work towards cleaner beaches in Lagos by removing plastics and marine-related debris.

Join us, support us on Saturday, September 16, 2023 at Suntan Beach, Badagry, as we commemorates 2023 International Coastal Cleanup Day and World Cleanup Day.

Save the date! The next World Cleanup Day is on September 16, 2023.

The impact of World Cleanup Day transcends mere tidying up; it ignites a sense of unity and purpose among communities while fostering a deeper connection to the planet. By addressing local environmental issues, this global movement envisions a cleaner, healthier future for our world, inspiring positive change at both the individual and systemic levels.

Ocean plastic pollution poses a significant threat to marine life and coastal ecosystems, and urgent actions are needed to address and mitigate its devastating impacts.

We recognized the significance of beaches as community spaces and understood that keeping them clean and free from pollution benefits both the environment and the local population.

Why Lagos Beach Cleaners?

Lagos Beach Cleaners, a nonprofit organization, was motivated to engage in beach cleaning activities due to several factors. Here are some possible reasons:

Environmental Concerns: Lagos Beach Cleaners are deeply concerned about the degradation of beaches and the impact of pollution on marine life. We recognized the importance of preserving natural ecosystems and decided to take action to address the problem.

Love for Beaches: Lagos Beach Cleaners had a personal affinity for beaches and coastal environments. We live near the coast, spend a significant amount of time at beaches, and have developed a passion for marine life and ocean conservation. Our love for beaches has driven us to actively contribute to their preservation.

Community Engagement: Lagos Beach Cleaners recognized the significance of beaches as community spaces and understood that keeping them clean and free from pollution benefits both the environment and the local population. By engaging in beach cleaning activities, we aimed to create a positive impact on the community's well-being and foster a sense of environmental responsibility among residents and visitors.

Awareness of Plastic Pollution: With the growing awareness of plastic pollution and its detrimental effects on the environment, Lagos Beach Cleaners was inspired to take action. We understood that beaches are particularly vulnerable to plastic waste accumulation, and by working in the environmental services industry, we could contribute to reducing plastic pollution and raising awareness about the issue.

Environmental Education: Lagos Beach Cleaners recognized the potential of beach cleaning initiatives to educate the public about environmental conservation. We have seen the importance of organizing educational programs, workshops, or campaigns alongside our cleaning efforts to promote sustainable practices and inspire others to protect the environment.

Involving children in climate action empowers them to become active participants in shaping their future and addressing environmental challenges. By engaging them in activities such as sustainability projects like beach clean-up initiatives, children gain a sense of agency and realize that their actions can make a difference. This empowerment instills a sense of responsibility and encourages them to be proactive environmental stewards throughout their lives.

Climate action activities provide an opportunity to educate children about the importance of environmental sustainability, climate change, and the interconnections of ecosystems. By involving children in practical initiatives, they can witness the tangible impacts of their actions and gain a deeper understanding of the environmental issues at hand. This firsthand experience enhances their environmental literacy and nurtures a lifelong commitment to sustainable practices.

Participating in climate action activities cultivates important skills and qualities in children. They learn about problem-solving, critical thinking, teamwork, and collaboration as they work together to find innovative solutions to environmental challenges. Moreover, involvement in climate action can foster leadership skills as children take on responsibilities, such as organizing campaigns, giving presentations, or advocating for sustainable practices within their communities. These skills and qualities are invaluable for their personal growth and development, and they can contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future.

Promoting cleanup initiatives ensures the long-term sustainability of the environment and ecosystems in rural beach communities, safeguarding their delicate balance.

By taking care of our beaches, we can contribute to the overall health and well-being of our planet.

LAGOS – A non-government organisation concerned about a cleaner environment, the Lagos Beach Cleaners, has embarked on the cleaning of the Secretariat-Oniru Beach, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Mr. Israel Bonu, Founder and Executive Director of Lagos Beach Cleaners, in an interview with the Daily Independent, called for more actions than mere talks in ensuring safe, pollution-free environments and the sustenance of climate action.

According to Bonu, the clean-up of Secretariat-Oniru Beach by Lagos Beach Cleaners was to commemorate two global events, namely World Environment Day 2023 and World Ocean Day 2023.

He said: “The clean-up of Oniru Beach, Victoria Island, was in our bid to support the call for mobilizing transformative actions from every corner of the world by the United Nations.
“We hosted a beach clean-up at Secretariat-Oniru Beach, Victoria Island, Lagos, on Saturday, June 10, 2023, to commemorate two important events.

“These are World Environment Day and World Ocean Day 2023.”

He described it as a huge success to rid Secretariat-Oniru Beach of filth and dangerous objects along the beach’s chores.

“With our unbeatable, committed, and dedicated team of volunteers that includes children from the community, we did justice to the pollution on Secretariat-Oniru Beach by collecting 112.6kg of plastic and marine trash. The Lagos Beach Cleaners boss added. Collectively, let’s sustain the advocacy for climate action and fewer climate challenges.”
