A student participatory beach clean-up organized by D-Cal, Vijay Patil School of Management in partnership with Panerai Watches & Beach Please India, a 100% sustainable watch brand to engage volunteer students in collecting harmful plastic and other non-degradable beach litter. Why a Beach Clean-up: – Gives a new breath of life to the immediate shore environment. – Improves the surrounding for the beach critters and removes obstructions from their habitat caused by plastic litter – Helps control the formation of micro-plastics from the breakdown of the plastic waste due to wave action and exposure to harsh sun rays. For the participants, it can be a sobering experience that brings them face-to-face with the harm humans are causing to nature and forces them to think and act responsibly.
