Back in February 2019, ICS Maldives kicked off something special—the first-ever Zero Plastic Run. With over 1,000 people showing up, this event aimed to raise awareness about the harmful effects of plastic on our planet. The goal? To reduce or ban single-use plastics. It’s not just a one-off event either—it’s happening every year until we hit the finish line, a Maldives free of single-use plastics. Because let's face it, the responsibility is ours. #IamResponsible

The Zero Plastic Run isn’t just about going for a jog—it’s about making a statement. We’re advocating for the elimination of everyday plastics that are damaging our environment. It’s a tough goal, and we know we can't do it alone. But change starts somewhere. And with each person who joins the run, we’re one step closer to a future where single-use plastics are a thing of the past.
