BBPB Clean Up at Marunda Beach: A Day of Action, Friendship, and Inspiration

Every small action counts when it comes to protecting the planet, and the BBPB (Bye Bye Plastic Bags) Clean Up at Marunda Beach proved just how powerful collective action can be. What started as a simple clean-up turned into a memorable day filled with meaningful impact, new friendships, and the joy of working together for a cleaner, greener future.

Armed with gloves, bags, and plenty of spirit, BINUSIAN and local volunteers came together with one shared goal: to make Marunda Beach a cleaner and safer place for the community and the environment. From picking up plastic waste to sorting recyclables, every participant played their part in tackling the urgent issue of pollution. Yet, beyond the physical act of cleaning, the day was also about learning, connecting, and inspiring one another.

One of the most heartwarming parts of the programme was the interaction with local children. As the clean-up unfolded, students and kids bonded through shared laughter, teamwork, and meaningful conversations about caring for the Earth. These small but powerful exchanges reminded everyone that environmental stewardship is not only about removing trash, it’s about building a culture of responsibility and passing on values to the next generation.

The event highlighted the essence of community-based action. By working together, participants not only transformed the beach but also cultivated a stronger sense of awareness about the importance of reducing plastic use, practicing responsible waste management, and respecting natural spaces. It showed that when individuals unite with a common purpose, real change is possible.

What made this clean-up special was the energy, enthusiasm, and hope that filled the day. There was not only cleaning but there was also laughter, learning, and new friendships formed along the way. Each smile and each piece of trash collected was a step toward a more sustainable tomorrow.

A big thank-you goes to BBPB, the amazing BINUSIANS, and the Marunda Beach community for making this day unforgettable. The Marunda Clean Up wasn’t just about a cleaner beach, it was about proving that together, we can make a difference, one action at a time.
