Name of the campaign (2nd campaign):
"Plastic-free" beach cleanup activity

A brief description of the campaign (2nd campaign):
We advocate plastic reduction for sustainable environmental development and to establish "plastic reduction promotion centers" in the community. So that more people can understand the waste problem.
We also held a "plastic-free" beach cleanup activity to let students understand the problem of marine debris. They recorded the types and amounts of waste, and realized the impact of environmental pollution on ecology and landscape. The students also reflected on the activities, discussed how to solve the problem, understood the importance of reduction of plastic products, and promised to practice plastic reduction in their lives.
