“Today, we clean the beach in the hope that my daughter can enjoy the same #CleanSeas I remember from my childhood.” - EU Ambassador to Singapore Iwona Piórko

 

For the 2021 #EUBeachCleanup we @EUinSingapore took a deep dive to find out ‘What lies Beneath Our Seas?’ Watch: bit.ly/adeepdive

EU Ambassador to Singapore Iwona Piórko grew up next to the sea. On Saturday, 18th September, she cleaned a part of the East Coast Beach with her family. On her Twitter (@IwonaPiorkoEU) she wrote: “Today, we clean the beach in the hope that my daughter can enjoy the same #CleanSeas I remember from my childhood.”

World Cleanup day started in Estonia in 2008 with 50,000 people uniting to clean up their entire country. Since then, it has become a global movement with 50 million volunteers from all walks of life working together to #ActNow. ​
