Volunteers from Sandals South Coast along with members of the Jamaica Defence Force, Cadets from Black River High School and members of the Kiwanis Club of Whitehouse Classic came together during a cleanup at the Whitehouse Fishing Beach in Westmoreland on International Coastal Cleanup Day (Saturday, September 17th). During the cleanup the team retrieved some 667 pounds of garbage from the shoreline. Chief among the items retrieved were plastic beverage bottles totaling over 1,500 followed by plastic cups and plates, glass beverage bottles, and beverage cans. This activity was one of several sponsored by the Sandals Foundation, as they stay true to their promise to raise environmental awareness and encourage environmental stewardship within our Caribbean communities.
