East Coast GRC MP Heng Swee Keat shared a Facebook post about the clean up at Tanah Merah Beach where he was involved in.
He shared how they collected 41kg worth of rubbish in under an hour, as he sought to bring awareness to their vision of a greener East Coast.
Here is what he said on Facebook
41kg — that’s the amount of trash collected along Tanah Merah beach in under an hour for a weekend beach clean-up.
I joined Tan Kiat How, our East Coast residents and Green Nudge for this. It was really eye-opening to see firsthand the types of discarded rubbish cluttering up our shores — shampoo bottles, lightbulbs, and picnic mats — among many other items. It felt good to come together with residents of all ages to play a part in keeping our nature areas clean.
Our vision for a greener East Coast is part of Singapore’s vision for a greener Singapore. The Singapore Green Plan 2030 will advance our agenda on sustainable development. It builds on what we have inherited from our founding fathers and will continue to safeguard our environment and tackle climate change.
To support this effort, the CNA Green Plan programme is rallying the nation to take small steps to go green. You can watch the episode on East Coast below.
