Beach Clean
Volunteering.
Community Action Days see volunteers give their time to an activity making a positive difference in the community. One annual CAD initiative supports International Coastal Cleanup Day: we call it the CMP Beach Clean.
IMPROVING the ENVIRONMENT.
Plastic debris is a big issue because it does not decompose; it simply disintegrates. Over time, minute plastic particles get into our own food and water systems, becoming a health hazard.
That is why beach cleaning can, and does, make a positive environmental difference.
BEACH CLEAN
2024
Beach Clean 2024 took place on 8 July at Hayling Island.
A breezy, gusty day in the middle of summer - perfect conditions for around 140 determined environment-friendly volunteers to get stuck in clearing rubbish from south-coast beaches.
Teaming up with the Marine Conservation Society, this year's CMP event had a more serious purpose than our previous events as volunteers collected and recorded small plastic items for inclusion on the national data base.
21 different companies were represented on the day; between them, the volunteers cleared a remarkable 15 large sacks of wildlife damaging litter.
