βProtecting our environment starts with all of us doing the right thing.β
Minister for Environment and Climate Change Hon. Lynda Tabuya today handed over rubbish bags, gloves and hand sanitisers to the Tailevu North Netball Association to support its Korovou community clean-up involving all 12 affiliated teams.
The initiative reflects the Associationβs commitment to keeping communities clean, with Interim President Vani Bera encouraging players and supporters to lead by example by disposing of rubbish responsibly.
The Ministry also highlighted the importance of separating waste and reminded participants that eligible PET bottles can be returned through Fijiβs Return and Earn Scheme for 5 cents per bottle.
Hon. Tabuya commended the Association for leading by example and called on more sporting clubs, community groups and individuals to play their part.
βSport builds champions on the court, but it also builds champions for our communities. Every clean-up, every recycled bottle and every positive action helps create a cleaner, healthier Fiji for future generations.β
