SNAPSHOT

HELP NEEDED!

***Please note: the Ecovision cleanup on Sunday, August 12th is FULL, thanks to overwhelming response from the community. Thank you!***

A massive spill of an estimated 30 million pre-production plastic pellets ('nurdles') washed up on a number of beaches after typhoon Vincente hit Hong Kong late last month.

Community help is needed to clean up the pellets. Once in the water, nurdles act as a sponge to soak up industrial chemicals and pesticides and other highly toxic chemicals that can cause an array of adverse effects in humans, from cancer to immune disorders.

Ecovision is working with a number of environmental groups and government departments to help clean up beaches along Hong Kong's coastlines. To get involved, organize a cleannup! Please register your cleanup, including the location, date and time of your cleanup HERE.
