Empowering Local Action for a Clean Coast
Home / Project
Challenge
A remote coastal community faced a persistent problem with oil pollution from illegal dumping and shipwrecks. Traditional clean-up efforts were often limited due to logistical challenges and a lack of local resources.
Solution
Falcon Oil Re-refinery partnered with the community to develop a long-term solution. We provided training and equipment to local residents, empowering them to actively participate in oil spill clean-up and shoreline restoration efforts. We also established a waste management system for collected oil waste, ensuring its responsible disposal.
Results
The project fostered a sense of ownership and environmental responsibility within the community. Empowered residents actively participated in clean-up efforts, leading to a significant reduction in oil pollution on the coastline. The project not only ensured a cleaner environment but also fostered a collaborative approach to long-term sustainability.
