More than 150 Accenture employees will join Hands On Manila volunteers in observance of the International Coastal Clean-Up Day (ICCD) at the Manila Bay on September 20.

Meanwhile, Greenpeace, together with the provincial government of Laguna, will conduct its clean up campaign in the towns of Siniloan, Sta. Cruz and Calamba.

The ICCD, traditionally celebrated on the third Saturday in September, is a specially designated day for volunteers all around the world to go onto beaches to remove accumulated debris and other garbage. The clean up exercise not only removes garbage but also collects valuable data on the nature of the solid waste that has accumulated along the world’s coastlines.

For volunteer opportuntities, call Hands On Manila at 386-6521 and 473-7458.
