Engaging in the beach cleanup proved to be a meaningful activity, offering me a broader perspective on the extent of trash accumulation in natural environments. This newfound insight prompted me to reflect on my use of plastic and inspired me to prioritize recycling. Furthermore, I also learned about the types of trash commonly found on the beach, with the majority being fine waste plastics. This experience has encouraged me to advocate for a green lifestyle to mitigate the proliferation of such waste.

Participating in this beach clean up was a fun and fulfilling experience. I was able to help the environment by cleaning up rubbish to prevent any animals from suffering a sad fate. One key takeaway was the realisation that majority of the trash came from peoples food waste such as plastic and styrofoam (utensils, containers, bottles.etc). Thus, I have picked up the habit of basic manners to clean up areas of where I had ate and use reusable materials. I also enjoyed my journey to ecp;)

By engaging in this beach cleanup, we help to make a positive impact on both marine and human life as cleanup campaigns is an effective and impactful way to remove trash and debris from beaches, contributing to the preservation and conservation of marine life and the overall enhancement of the beach environment. By engaging in this beach cleanup, we can prevent harmful debris from causing devastating and long lasting consequences to our oceans, fragile wildlife, coastal economies, and the well-being of the people. Furthermore, beach cleanups play a crucial role in creating a safer and more conducive environment for nesting sea turtles, birds, and other wildlife, ensuring their survival and fostering biodiversity. Beach cleanups have a significant positive impact on human health. By removing pollutants and reducing pollution levels on the beach, we help to contribute to the protection and preservation of public health, allowing people to enjoy cleaner and safer beach experiences and helping to also reduce the risks of diseases from dirt and build up debris to spread and infect visitors.

Participating in the beach cleanup was not only fulfilling but also eye-opening. As I combed through the sand, picking up various debris, I couldn't help but reflect on the impact our actions have on the environment. Seeing firsthand the amount of plastic bottles, wrappers, and other litter scattered along the shoreline made me realize the urgent need for collective action to preserve our oceans and beaches.

Moreover, working alongside other volunteers further reinforced the power of community and collaboration in tackling environmental challenges. Each piece of trash we collected symbolized a small step towards a cleaner, healthier planet.

This experience has inspired me to be more mindful of my own consumption habits and to advocate for sustainable practices in my community. It's a reminder that even seemingly small actions, like picking up trash on the beach, can make a significant difference when done collectively.

Participating in this beach clean up has widened my perception of the gravity of littering and overconsumption off non-recyclable materials. With majority of the litter being micro plastics, I helped me realised how serious pollution has become and how such conditions can leave lasting negative impacts on the animals that rely or live on these areas. Hence, I stand to put forward the 3R's (reduce, reuse & recycle), actively try to do my part for our earth by recycling what I can and strive for a cleaner environment for all animals and singaporeans to enjoy.

participating in the beach clean up was something eye-opening for me as i have finally understood the struggles the park cleaners as well as the public face when in a polluted environment.

not only does all the added trash and debris cause pollution on the beach but it also indicates the poor hygiene and may cause several problems.

people may step over exposed plastic bottles or trash and hurt themselves,they may also be washed off into the sea and be consumed by marine animals. i learned many values and skills from that experience and differentiate the difference kinds of recyclable trash and non biodegradable trash. i truly enjoyed the experience as it benefitted me lots. i had the opportunity to talk to my peers and have a good time with them while doing a good deed. although i faced a few issues,i learned how to overcome them

The beach clean up was a memorable and fun experience as I learnt on being considerate and teamwork. Not only that, I manage to have a fantastic time cleaning up with my friends. At the same time, I also tried to bond with my teammates and our leader like the sec 1. This taught me that we can play our part together, as with aa group is much more engaging and enjoyable. Moreover, this improves my stamina and keeps me fit at the same time playing my part to help the environment. Walking along the beach also is an excellent relaxed activity where we can put our mind to rest. On the beach, i not only learn leadership but on different ways i can help. Additionally, providing me with knowledge and skills I the future when it comes to these recreation opportunities. Where I know how I can help and especially what I could do better to benefit our earth cleanliness. Super fun and would be happy to have it again, but with transport provided.

Participating in a beach clean-up was a new and meaningful experience for me. I had a lot of fun there and really enjoyed myself while doing good for the environment. Additionally, being the first beach clean-up that I had participated in, it has inspired me to take part in more of such events in the future. Overall, it was an extremely fun activity and I am grateful to have the rare opportunity to participate in this meaningful activity.

Cleaning up the beach last year was a unique experience. I got to spend quality time with my friends and make new friends. I also had one of a kind experiences. One of them was finding a dead fish in a sand castle someone had made. Thought this activity, I've learned to clean up after myself. I've also realised that the pollution of seas is a serious problem as it threatens the lives of sea creatures.

The beach clean up was definitely a memorable experience. Having participants from both boys and girl NCCs taking part in helping to clean the beach environment was honourable. The bonds i made along the way when cleaning up the beach were amazing. Drawing words in the sand for fun, finding the most random objects and items in the sand was unexpected. The amount of trash all of us collect within a timespan was absolutely phenomenal!

The sun glimmered into my eyes, and the waves crashed calmly into the picturesque coast of East Coast Park. It was truly a glamorous sight to behold. However, as I laid my feet on the rough, sabulous sand, my eyes could not help but catch a glimpse of what I could only describe, as a horror. Bags. Bottles. Straws. Plates! I grasped the pick-up stick that was provided by the lovely seniors that were helping out along side me and my friends, I only had one thought in my mind, and that was to dispose of all the material that destroy this natural beauty of a beach.

The beach clean up was very fun and i really enjoyed it. at first i thought it would be boring, but it turned out to be a very fun and memorable experience as i had a lot of fun with my friends cleaning the beach, especially having a competition on who can pick up the most litter and stealing each others litter. this made the us pick up litter faster. not only was this fun, but i felt accomplished as i helped pick up litter to contribute to the environment. i think i killed a fish

The beach clean up was an unforgettable experience. It was truly honorable to witness participants from both boys and girls NCCs joining forces to restore the beauty of the beach environment. The camaraderie formed during the clean up was remarkable. From doodling words in the sand for laughs to uncovering the most unexpected objects, every moment was filled with surprise. The sheer volume of trash we collected within such a short span was utterly jaw dropping!

participating in the beach clean-up was a meaningful and eye-opening experience for me. it made me realise the impact of our actions on the environment and the importance of taking responsibility for our planet.

seeing the sheer amount of plastic bags, cigarette butts and other debris scattered across the beach and shoreline made me concerned as marine animals may mistake litter for food or become entangled in it, leading to injuries or even death. moreover, it may also lead to environmental degradation as the non-biodegradable materials mentioned above take years to decompose, thus polluting the environment.

despite the disheartening scene, there was still a glimmer of hope. when we come together as a whole, the beach can be cleaned more thoroughly and quickly, preventing pollution and marine animals from getting hurt, and taking a step closer to environmental stewardship. furthermore, working with others also fosters a sense of community, strengthening the bonds between us.

overall, the beach clean-up experience served as a powerful reminder to preserve and protect the planet, inspiring me to continue environmental stewardship and collective actions.

It was an incredible experience. It was awesome to see the CCA members work together to help clean the beach. We even had fun with the sand after the clean-up. I would like to experience this again.

by participating in this beach clean-up activity, i have been paying more attention to the state of the environment. for example, i have been identifying environmental anomalies, such as environmental pollutants like plastic wraps and paper, on the ground more continually as i am more cognizant of what goes on in my surroundings. this nurtures me to be more environmentally aware and benefits the environment as well!!!!!!!! this cleanup allowed me to conserve the environment and restore natural habitats which provides healthy environments for species

secondly, ive learned that most waste at the beach comes from food wrappers and cigarette butts which made me conclude that people are very irresponsible when discarding their waste, which is concerning

thirdly, through this movement, i got to bond with my cca mates and make our camaraderie and cooperation stronger. picking up trash with people from various classes cohorts and gender, got me to bond with dissimilar people that i won't usually interact with. which constructs stronger relationships with them and assuring a better collaboration and results during the activity

Participating in the beach cleanup activity gave me a sense of happiness due to me being able to help out with cleaning up the beach and making it more environmentally friendly. the trash we picked up at the beach was only a portion of what litter remains in the ocean, however it was a start towards a cleaner beach. The litter that we picked could have been swept back into the ocean had we not cleaned it up, where fish and other marine life may have eaten the smaller plastic bits which would affect us should we consume said fish or gotten stuck in plastic bottles which would harm them a lot. This Beach cleaning VIA was a meaningful experience and i would love to do it again :)

# data[].attributes.body
Before going to the beach cleanup, i thought there was little to no rubbish that will be collected. After the whole VIA activity was finished, we collected more than 15 bags of plastic filled rubbish. This activity really opened my eyes on the harms that we human being are doing to nature. Moving forward, i learn not to anyhow litter in the public as it might resolve to polluting the oceans in singapore. I found this VIA activity really impactful as it made changes to my daily life by not literring and being more wary of my environment.

The experience of cleaning the beach has thought me values such as patience and resilience. Other than that it has also taught me more about teamwork and communication with other people.

Although I was not able to participate in this beach clean up, I still learned a lot just from planning it. I've always thought that planning events like these were easy and that I didn't need to stress while planning. However, I quickly learned that planning mass group events like these at public areas are not as easy as it seems. Firstly, I had to come up with not just 1 plan,but wet-weather programmes as well. Furthermore, I had to learn how to properly communicate with my fellow planners so that we could plan the event as efficiently and smooth-sailing as ut could be even though we did experience some internal conflicts. Hence, even though I was not able to participate on the day of the event, I still had a memorable experience planning it and I will practicse the skills I have learned from this experience.

Participating in a beach clean-up at East Coast Park was an eye-opening experience.

Upon arrival at the beach, the extent of the litter was shocking. Plastic bottles, wrappers, and other debris littered the shore, highlighting the urgent need for action.

The sheer volume of trash scattered across the beach served as a stark reminder of the detrimental impact human activity has on our environment. It was evident that without intervention, this pollution would continue to degrade the ecosystem and harm marine life.

As we worked together to collect and dispose of the litter, I was struck by the dedication and enthusiasm of the volunteers. Each person's contribution, no matter how small, made a tangible difference in cleaning up the shoreline.

The collective effort demonstrated the power of community action in addressing environmental challenges. Witnessing everyone coming together with a shared goal was inspiring and reinforced the importance of individual responsibility in preserving our planet.

After the clean-up, the beach appeared visibly cleaner, with significantly less litter polluting the coastline. It was a rewarding feeling to see the immediate impact of our efforts and to know that we had made a positive difference in the local environment.

This experience served as a reminder of the importance of environmental stewardship and the role each of us plays in protecting natural spaces. It also highlighted the need for continued vigilance and action to combat plastic pollution and preserve our oceans for future generations.

In conclusion, participating in the beach clean-up at East Coast Park was a powerful reminder of the importance of environmental conservation and the impact of collective action. It reinforced my commitment to advocating for sustainable practices and inspired me to continue contributing to efforts aimed at protecting our planet.

Participating in the beach clean up was a humbling experience that reinforced the importance of environmental stewardship. As I walked along the shoreline, picking up debris left behind by careless individuals, I couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility towards our planet. The sight of plastic bottles, wrappers, and other litter strewn across the sand served as a stark reminder of the impact of human activity on our oceans and marine life.

However, amidst the litter, there was also a glimmer of hope. The camaraderie among volunteers, all united in the common goal of preserving our beaches, was inspiring. Together, we worked tirelessly, filling bags with trash and debris, knowing that every piece removed was a small victory in the fight against pollution.

As I reflect on the experience, I am reminded of the power of collective action. While one person alone may not be able to solve the world's environmental problems, together, we can make a meaningful difference. It's a reminder that each of us has a role to play in protecting our planet for future generations.

Moreover, the beach clean up served as a reminder to be more mindful of my own consumption and waste habits. It's easy to overlook the impact of our everyday actions, but seeing firsthand the consequences of our throwaway culture reinforces the need for sustainable practices in our daily lives.

In the end, the beach clean up was more than just picking up trash; it was a reminder of our interconnectedness with the natural world and the responsibility we have to safeguard it. It's a reminder that, with dedication and collective effort, we can work towards a cleaner, healthier planet for all.
