Following the floods, resort cleans up beach for Earth Day
Mother Nature’s natural splendour is nowhere more evident than at Wild Coast Sun, which is near Port Edward, the gateway to the Eastern Cape and located between the Mtamvuna and Mzamba Rivers and overlooking the Indian Ocean.
Earth Day, celebrated on April 22 across the globe to raise awareness about environmental protection, was marked by staff from Wild Coast Sun, who collected 30 bags of waste on the beach. Heavy floods and rains have devastated the south coast and the beaches were severely polluted with plastic bottles and debris.
“Protecting our beautiful natural setting is important to maintain the lush surroundings which our guests have come to know and love,” said Peter Tshidi, General Manager, Wild Coast Sun. “From oceans being filled with plastic, extreme heat to wildfires and floods, the earth is clearly urging a call to action.”
Also known as International Mother Earth Day, Wild Coast Sun used the occasion to join hands and acknowledge the global climate crisis.
