Kuwait launched on Saturday a mass campaign to mark the World Cleanup Day by promoting the culture of cleaning the environment in the Kuwaiti society.
The campaign was organized by “Trash Tag,” a non-profit organization dedicated to environmental efforts, in cooperation with the UN office in Kuwait and several organizations at a historical landmark in Shumaymah beach in Jahra Governorate.
Carina Maceira, director and one of the founders of “Trash Tag,” said that several people showed up on Saturday to participate in the cleanup event celebrating World Cleanup Day.
“We help people to be aware of environmental issues, where every week we organize a cleanup campaign to clean different areas, beaches, deserts, and islands,” she said.
“Six embassies participated along with the UN office and different organizations and sponsors who decided to distribute food, drinks, and tools,” she said.
“We are here with the UN team to raise awareness, collect trash, and show our solidarity as a commitment to environmental protection,” the UN Acting Resident Coordinator Hideko Hadzialic said.
