South Africa Gets Very Own Dedicated River Clean-Up Day
There are so many South Africans that have taken a stand against pollution, jumping into action to save the natural world.
Individuals and groups often set up river clean-up days and now they have a day dedicated to the goal – River Clean-Up Day.
National River Clean-up Day is designated for the 15th of September 2021.
Douw Steyn, Sustainability Director of Plastics|SA, explains that rivers and streams are an important part of South Africa’s water network. Unfortunately, they are often badly polluted by chemicals, sewage, plastics and other visible litter caused by drains and water channels leading from roads as well as communities living in close proximity to the river banks and where there is no waste management system in place.
