On 16 September 2022, NECA, in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth Empowerment, Sports & Recreation and other stakeholders both from public and private sectors, organised Eco-Trek activities at 5 different sites simultaneously around the island to collect litters in nature. Some 800 youths participated in these activities, covering a total distance of 12.5 km, and the volume of wastes collected amounted to 5 tonnes.
The litters collected, comprising empty cans, plastics and general trash, were segregated in different coloured waste bags. Some 3 tonnes of recyclable wastes were directed to recycling companies.
