Recognising the strong link between waste management and water stewardship, ABPLC combined both global observances into a single impactful event held on March 18, 2026. The initiative highlighted a simple but critical message: protecting oceans and water resources begins with reducing waste.
As part of the build-up to the event, ABPLC engaged key sustainability partners on March 17, 2026, with visits to Plastic Punch, Accra Art District, and Alpha Costume. These visits provided deeper insight into recycling processes, creative reuse, and the role of local partners in advancing circular economy practices.
The main event featured a beach clean-up exercise at Mighty Beach, where volunteers worked collectively to remove plastic and other waste from the shoreline, helping to prevent marine pollution and protect water ecosystems.

These included games such as Ludo, Oware, and UNO, alongside hands-on sessions like pottery, candle making, and painting, all aimed at promoting creativity, reuse, and environmental awareness.
