View(s):
Beach clean-up campaign was carried out recently by the Association of Accounting Technicians of Sri Lanka (AAT Sri Lanka) under their CSR programme “AAT Social Mission” at the Mount Lavinia beach to Dehiwala railway station.
It was a sunny day, the staff and the members of AAT Sri Lanka was gathered near the hotel shore by “O” and started the activity in the early morning. Since this is the off season for the western and southern beach side there were many garbage and polythene drifted to the beach.
The main purpose of this CSR is to collect the polythene and plastic items which could affect the sea life and also to make sure the beauty of the beach side as it is a main tourist attraction in Colombo city side.
This was the third CSR project hosted by the AAT Sri Lanka during last two months and as a pioneer educational institute AAT Sri Lanka is more focusing on social services to make the sense about the need of the environment and the general public.
Campaign was very successful, we were able to collect over 30Kg of plastic from the beach side and all the trash were directly handed over to the municipal council trucks.
