As thousands ascend to the mountaintop temple, plastic waste often mixes with the natural environment. When the rainy season begins, this plastic is washed away, ultimately ending up in local rivers, posing a threat to ecosystems and water quality.
Type of work: We encourage local volunteers to participate in an environmental cleanup at the end of the pilgrim season. This initiative will focus on collecting plastic waste left along the trail to Sri Pada. Volunteers will work together to gather the litter and transport it to a recycling collection point, helping to restore the natural beauty of the area and mitigate the environmental impact of increased plastic waste.
