Breaking new floor in environmental stewardship, Caribbean Airways Restricted, in collaboration with the Caribbean Community for Built-in Rural Growth (CNIRD), undertook a simultaneous coastal clean-up throughout a number of Caribbean locations on October 14. It’s the first time a regional airline has finished so.
Over 220 devoted Caribbean Airways staff and their households volunteered their effort and time to clear marine particles from shores at areas in Trinidad, Guyana, and Barbados.
Dionne Ligoure, Head of Company Communications at Caribbean Airways, highlighted the importance of this coastal clean-up. She said, “As a part of our Sustainability Programme, Caribbean Airways staff undertook this exercise. The environment is an integral a part of the Caribbean Id, and as a area, it’s crucial that we unite within the face of local weather change challenges. Lately, the more and more harmful hurricanes and weird climate patterns, have underscored the urgency of safeguarding our seas and lands towards consumerism and air pollution. Caribbean Airways understands this accountability and is proud to be the primary airline to partake in a simultaneous regional coastal clean-up. We prolong our heartfelt gratitude to CNIRD for his or her invaluable help and to our devoted volunteers, together with Caribbean Airways staff and their households, who have been integral to this milestone.”
Additionally commenting on the initiative, Nalini Lalla, Normal Counsel, Company Secretary and Chair of the airline’s Sustainability committee said: “As we be part of this international shift in recognising the worth of the environment, we at Caribbean Airways have begun to lift consciousness amongst our employees and their households by means of necessary actions resembling this Coastal Clear-Up and small steps every of us can take to cut back our impression on the surroundings.”
The joint effort throughout the three international locations yielded spectacular outcomes, with shut to three,000 kilos of waste collected. The information was meticulously recorded by CNIRD and can be built-in into every nation’s official statistics. These statistics can be subsequently added to a world database, which serves as an important useful resource for creating efficient methods to fight air pollution and defend our valuable ecosystems.
