Clean Anjuna
Working for a cleaner environment
Initiative
Goamazing, NoName free hostel, and Altaf Bhat have come together to collaborate on keeping Anjuna clean.
“We all feel the importance of living in a clean and safe environment, where both locals and tourists can join together to help clean the beach”.
Keep Anjuna Clean
The idea
It began when Goamazing was searching for a property close to the beach for the opening of a friendly budget hostel for backpackers. As the property was found we came across a huge pile of rubbish along the gateway to Anjuna beach.
As travelers/backpackers you see the world and discover beautiful treasures such as Goa. When the beauty of nature hits your eyes and heart, during that moment you get a notion, a sense of responsibility to keep these treasures alive so upcoming generations can enjoy them.
Getting involved
No Name free hostel were the impulse we needed, Goamazing had heard of this free ecological hostel and decided to visit them. Most of the things built at No Name were made from rubbish collected at the beach. We agreed on having a musical sunset “ jam session” on the beach on Novemnber 5th, 2016 to gather as many people as possible to join and help.
Altaf Bhat known for walking 7,500 km for peace and the love of animals is collaborating with this project.
“ We have to keep the beach clean so everybody can enjoy, especially dogs.”
No littering
If you don’t litter you’re reducing pollution, keeping a clean and safe environment. The rubbish will not end up in the ocean endangering marine life or any other species.
Plastic bottles take up 450 years to biodegrade, cigarette butts five to ten years, and the list goes on.
Great ecosystems around the world such as the Great Barrier Reef in Australia have been severely damaged by more than 50%. Around 30% or more of the amazon rainforest is gone.
There are 1.2 billion people in India, the second biggest population in the world, If we make an impact in India, we can make it happen anywhere in the world. We are pedagogies, education starts from our homes. In order to have a change we must begin with ourselves, walk distinctly and differently than others.
The local people show great support for cleaning, but they think the best solution is to burn the rubbish. Burning rubbish like plastic releases and creates the most toxic chemical (dioxin) for the human organism and environment.
Vast work must be done and we can’t guarantee an immediate change, but the worst thing a person can do in life is not try. Visualize an idea and it can happen, put your heart, mind, soul, and no one will stop you only yourself. Help keep the world clean, do your part and throw rubbish on a bin not the street.
