Leading the Charge: Kenton Eco Estate’s Beach Clean Up Bags Initiative

Apr 19, 2024

We're thrilled to share the success of our recent launch of Beach Clean Up Bags.

At Kenton Eco Estate, we believe in taking action to protect our environment and foster a community committed to sustainable living. That’s why we’re thrilled to share the success of our recent launch of Beach Clean Up Bags, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at reducing plastic pollution and promoting eco-conscious habits among our residents.

Crafted from upcycled denim scraps by the talented Jo Styles of The Market Traders Store, our Beach Clean Up Bags are more than just practical tools for collecting beach litter—they’re symbols of our dedication to reducing, reusing, and recycling. But the story doesn’t end there.

To complement these eco-friendly bags, we’ve installed custom-made structures at Zola’s Way boardwalk, expertly crafted by a local carpenter using invasive alien wood. These structures serve as convenient drop-off points for collected trash, making it easier than ever for our community to contribute to our beach clean-up efforts.

But why is this initiative so important?

Consider these sobering facts: 79% of plastic ever produced still sits in landfills or the natural environment, and a staggering 8.3 billion metric tons of plastic have been produced since the material was introduced in the 1950s. These statistics paint a grim picture of the environmental impact of plastic waste—and highlight the urgent need for action.

By providing the tools and infrastructure to participate in beach clean-ups, we’re not just tackling a local issue—we’re addressing a global crisis. Our Beach Clean Up Bags initiative empowers individuals to make a tangible difference in their community and take meaningful steps towards a more sustainable future.

But our work is far from over. We need the support of our entire community to truly make a lasting impact. Together, let’s embrace an honest-to-goodness life by reducing, reusing, and recycling. Together, let’s keep Kenton beautiful for generations to come.
