What is Zero Plastic Run?

This is an event where participants run or walk to bring more attention to the negative environmental impacts caused by plastics. The event also seeks to create additional awareness on this very important issue.

This event is organized by ICS Maldives and is the first of its kind in the Maldives.

The Zero Plastic Run will continue annually until the single-use plastics in our everyday lives is zero, and until Maldives becomes a zero single-use plastic nation. We all have a responsibility as individuals to achieve this goal. #iamresponsible[/vc_column_text][/minti_boxedholder][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][minti_boxedholder padding=”20px 20px 20px 20px” background_color=”rgba(209,255,238,0.46)” border_color=”rgba(255,58,58,0.5)”][vc_column_text el_class=”h2colour”]

Why Zero Plastic Run?

The main aim of the “Zero Plastic Run” is to advocate for banning or minimizing the use of everyday plastics which harm the environment. We want to increase the awareness on this serious issue.

Our call is for the use of zero single-use plastics in our daily lives.

We recognize that, this goal cannot be achieved overnight by just us alone. However, we believe that it is very important for each and every one to make a start and stay on this very important journey to zero single-use plastics.[/vc_column_text][/minti_boxedholder][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][minti_spacer][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][minti_boxedholder padding=”20px 20px 20px 20px” background_color=”rgba(209,255,238,0.46)”][vc_column_text el_class=”h2colour”]
