2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ Let’s Be Plastic Free for Festival!

🎉 At Festival time we happily celebrate our freedom, culture and heritage with music, food and community - and then we leave behind a large amount of waste and litter that could easily be reduced and better managed.

🙌🏽 👍🏽 A great deal of this waste and litter is within our control, such as the single-use plastic cups, bottles and containers that often end up on our roadsides, in our waters and along our beautiful beaches - threatening our healthy, natural beauty and our fragile marine life.

🍾🥤This Festival, let’s celebrate more responsibly. Bring your reusable tumblers, containers and other sustainable alternatives to the Village and dispose of or recycle waste thoughtfully.

🌠🎖️If you're a business or service offering eco-friendly options this year, please share in the comments so we can spotlight your efforts. Together, we can all help celebrate a greener, cleaner and healthier BVI.

📣 Shoutout to all our Change-Makers

💟 This past Sunday, 13 amazing volunteers came together on Virgin Gorda for our Monthly Community Clean-Up.

🗑️ Together, our actions led to the removal of 10 bags of litter: 7 bags of recyclables and 3 bags of trash. This in turn means fewer potential mosquito breeding sites and less plastic breaking down into our soil and environment.

🙏🏼 Thank you for bringing your energy, teamwork, and care for a greener, cleaner, and healthier BVI!
