The scenery is beautiful but smelly?Philippine volunteer sweeps the Manila Bay

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] 17th is the International Beach Clean Day.According to Reuters, Philippine volunteers and government staff cleared the garbage of Manila Bay that day.

The pollution of Manila Bay is extremely serious and is criticized by local residents and tourists.A young student participating in volunteer work said that the beach cleaning day activity was very meaningful and could also enjoy the beauty of Manila Bay.Critics have pointed out that the Philippine pollution prevention legislation is currently insufficient, and the existing laws are not strict with law enforcement, resulting in a crisis of pollution.There is even a ridiculous saying, saying that the seaside sun in Manila Bay is beautiful, but it smells sinking, referring to the reality of the local seaside being polluted by domestic garbage and industrial waste.The International Beach Cleaning Date is in the 1980s. It is scheduled to be the third Saturday of September each year. Volunteers cleaning the beach garbage are the tradition of this day.Statistics show that since the first International Beach Cleaning Day, more than 6 million volunteers in more than 90 countries around the world have participated in the cleanup of beach garbage.
