Speaker 1: Keep it coming via what'sapp and seven to five six
Speaker 1: seven one five six seven. Now the Two Oceans Trash
Speaker 1: Bash Avery Ow and Zai and Johnson is active at
Speaker 1: this very moment in time bashing the trash then Zay
Speaker 1: and Johnson. What does that entail?
Speaker 2: Thanks very much, Clarence, A very good morning to you.
Speaker 2: It's tomorrow morning at about nine o'clock at beaching. You
Speaker 2: know it's it's in Multon on the nineteenth.
Speaker 1: That's right, it's going to be there. Yeah, he was
Speaker 1: talking about it this morning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Lisa and I were at one of the previous
Speaker 2: trash bashes and it was amazing to see the amount
Speaker 2: of people that actually arrive. They arrive about twenty past eight,
Speaker 2: half past eight. The Two Oceans Aquarium as well as
Speaker 2: Save a Fishy normally put up a facility there and
Speaker 2: the city of Cape Town joins in and of course
Speaker 2: you you can arrive. It's good to wear a pair
Speaker 2: of wellies if you're bringing the children. And it's a
Speaker 2: great thing to bring the children to Clarence because the
Speaker 2: school holiday still and they can come and join in
Speaker 2: and clean up that lagoon beach. We had a whole
Speaker 2: lot of stuff last time. We found a tire, we
Speaker 2: found a douvet cover, we found so much plastic. And
Speaker 2: this is the key thing. Uh, you know, we we
Speaker 2: often complain and we often talk about the plastic that's
Speaker 2: in the ocean, and there's so much plastic in the
Speaker 2: ocean causing major problems to the to the sea life
Speaker 2: and and to you know, the the the the animals
Speaker 2: in the ocean, and it becomes a major problem. But
Speaker 2: we we actually don't realize that it doesn't actually only
Speaker 2: start with what we discard on the ocean or what
Speaker 2: we discribed on the beaches that land up in the sea.
Speaker 2: It is actually what we discard in the rivers that
Speaker 2: eventually land up in the sea. And we chose Molton
Speaker 2: Lagoon because there are two rivers that actually mouth acts
Speaker 2: at that particular section and whatever happens upstream, like you know,
Speaker 2: your your diapers, your your your earbuds and all of
Speaker 2: those things that people discarding the rivers, those things land
Speaker 2: up in the ocean. So, yeah, the Two Oceans Aquarium,
Speaker 2: it's a fantastic event. Bring the children, Bring everybody at
Speaker 2: nine o'clock. A promises to be a good day. Just
Speaker 2: over one hundred people last time. We're looking for quite
Speaker 2: a few people to join us this week, and it's
Speaker 2: at the Lagoon Beach and it's just at nine o'clock.
Speaker 2: We give you a pair of gloves, we give you
Speaker 2: a bag, and you walk with a group and you
Speaker 2: pick up whatever you find on the on that beachfront.
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of imagining it. I guess there's a
Speaker 1: sense of accomplishment thereafter.
Speaker 2: Is it not. I think you you know, when you
Speaker 2: when you've picked up half a bag or a full
Speaker 2: bag of of you know, of of whatever is sort
Speaker 2: of left by people on that beachfront, you feel that
Speaker 2: you've contributed. And this is the key thing is to
Speaker 2: teach your children if you bring them with that you
Speaker 2: have contributed something to making the ocean a safe place
Speaker 2: and a better place for all marine life. And I
Speaker 2: think this is where one needs to commend the Two
Speaker 2: Oceans Aquarium because you know, very often we talk about
Speaker 2: pasting in the sy we talk about the fact that
Speaker 2: we need to keep the marine life, you know, safe,
Speaker 2: and all of that, but very little gets done. And
Speaker 2: this is an opportunity for you and for your children
Speaker 2: to come along and do something and feel that accomplishment
Speaker 2: and feel that you've done something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can also imagine a wonderful little maybe induction,
Speaker 1: especially for young people into you know, the preservation of
Speaker 1: our marine ecosystem and just an understanding of how we
Speaker 1: fit into nature as well. Are there a lot of
Speaker 1: young people that participate.
Speaker 2: There are loads of kids. I mean, lest there's two
Speaker 2: children with there, and everybody you know brought their kids
Speaker 2: along with And this is the key. If we don't
Speaker 2: teach our children, we don't actually bring this across to
Speaker 2: them to show them that listen, hear you guys need
Speaker 2: to take care of the ocean and that this is
Speaker 2: yours after this is your sort of inheritance that we're
Speaker 2: leaving you. If you don't take care of it, then
Speaker 2: obviously you know, we will be we will we'll be
Speaker 2: we'll be in problems with with marine life. And it's
Speaker 2: not only just fish and stuff like that. It is Wales,
Speaker 2: it is you know, dolphins, it is turtles and stuff
Speaker 2: like that. And the two oceans. A current for instance,
Speaker 2: rehabilitated a few turtles which they put back into the
Speaker 2: sea again. So it's that kind of a legacy that
Speaker 2: we need to leave for our children, is to show
Speaker 2: them and to indicate to them listen here we are
Speaker 2: taking care of the ocean, and when we are gone,
Speaker 2: you need to also carry on with that legacy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, absolutely, yeah. Okay, So how many.
Speaker 2: People are expecting, Well, we had quite a few. We
Speaker 2: had just one one hundred people last time. And I think,
Speaker 2: you know, I hope that people listening this morning will
Speaker 2: will turn up tomorrow morning and then you know, it's
Speaker 2: it's easy. We give you a bag, we give you
Speaker 2: some gloves. Afterwards, there's some nice little things that are
Speaker 2: given to the children. Save a Fishy has got a
Speaker 2: stall because Save a Fishy has just been on on
Speaker 2: on a clean up spree of all the beaches along
Speaker 2: the West coast and the East coast. Uh And they
Speaker 2: do that once once a year, and if you think
Speaker 2: about it, last year they collected about thirty eight tons
Speaker 2: of of uh you know, of of of of plastic
Speaker 2: and stuff that was all along our coast. So if
Speaker 2: you think about thirty eight tons, it's quite a phenomenal
Speaker 2: feat to to know that, you know, we we saved
Speaker 2: that amount of plastic that is not going into the sea.
Speaker 1: We're gonna, We're gonna arrested there Zie Johnson, I am
Speaker 1: teeing off a little later on this morning. You may
Speaker 1: just see me there. Maybe I can do a couple
Speaker 1: of minutes before I head off at for my Saturday
Speaker 1: morning golf game.
