ZeroPlastic is a transformative movement, a beacon of hope in the battle against plastic pollution. It’s not just an organization; it’s a passionate community united by a singular purpose: to eradicate plastic waste and pave the way for a sustainable future. In our mission to make World Cleanup Day a resounding success, we are privileged to be joined by our main partners who are at the forefront of the sustainability movement. These dedicated partners include the Central Environmental Authority (CEA), the Colombo District Club, and our valued main sponsor, Star Garments. Their unwavering support and collaborative spirit play a pivotal role in our collective endeavor to combat plastic pollution. Together, we are setting the stage for a cleaner, greener future through World Cleanup Day.

In the pursuit of a cleaner, plastic-free Sri Lanka, education stands as a beacon of hope and change. The Zero Plastic Movement, renowned for its commitment to reducing plastic waste, has been tirelessly working to educate and empower the nation’s youth. Through various educational initiatives, this movement is cultivating a generation of eco-conscious citizens ready to tackle plastic pollution head-on.

In an exciting development for environmental conservation in Sri Lanka, the Ministry of Education has enthusiastically embraced the cause. A resounding green light has been given for an astounding 10,155 government schools across the nation to participate in the upcoming World Cleanup Day on September 16th.

This monumental decision reflects a shared commitment to combating plastic pollution and fostering a cleaner, more sustainable Sri Lanka. It’s a clear message that our educational institutions are not just places of learning but also engines of change, actively engaged in addressing critical global challenges.

This collaboration between the Ministry of Education and the Zero Plastic Movement exemplifies the power of collective action. It demonstrates that when government institutions, grassroots movements, and concerned citizens unite, they can drive meaningful change.

Let us once again applaud the Ministry of Education for this visionary decision and the Zero Plastic Movement for their leadership in this endeavor. With 10,155 government schools joining hands, there’s no doubt that together, we can make a substantial impact in our quest to combat plastic pollution and create a more sustainable Sri Lanka.
