Earth Day Coastal Clean-up, Gurney Drive.

On Saturday, April 18th....thousands of people all across Malaysia take part in the 2010 Gurney Drive Coastal Cleanup and to remove trash carelessly left behind by others.

Gteam were really pleased to be heading down at Gurney Drive this morning. We reached Gurney Drive at about 7.00am.

Gteam....Gear up and ready to go...!!!

CK Wong as record item for every trash, wood etc...all his records pick as part of a global scientific study on the types and origins that finds its way to Penang island seaside.

Much of the trash that ends up on the beach or in the water originated inland and was blown or washed away to coastal areas.....Pic 1, CK Wong got a jagung(CORN)....hehee.

I and Heng interview by BERNAMA NEWS, the reporter ask what we found and why he volunteer to join this clean-up event:-
Reporter: What did u find?
Jordan: I found a pink bra....hehee(just joking)...found large number of plastic bags were half buried in the stone, sand and mud, this is due to the lack of frequent cleanups which allow the accreting sand to bury over time.......;p
Reporter: What make u join this program?
Jordan: What make me join ah....hmmm, i always wonder what i can do to give a gift to new generations to come.....and i think one of the greatest would be to give them a clean seaside.

We end our cleaning with a nice lunch at Bali Hai....;).
