The committee hope that if this project successfully launch, this can become a periodical project every year. (e.g. every Monthly/ Quarterly) Full support from the Kota Kinabalu Community is greatly appreciated!

It will be a scenic view without these trashes and rubbish.

The rubbish were buried and integrated with the sand. They have been here for long while.

Of course, we can generate more ideas on how to conserve our environment, such as organizing campaign aiming students around Kota Kinabalu about the importance and consequences of trash to our society; Organize the cleanup project every 3months or other relevant period; Recycle the trashes and turn them into $$. We need YOUR Ideas!
