(220816) — ALEXANDRIA, Aug. 16, 2022 (Xinhua) — People collect waste from the beach in Alexandria, Egypt, Aug. 13, 2022. On the beaches in the Egyptian city of Alexandria, a group of Egyptian young people are usually seen holding green and white plastic bags to collect the scattering waste. They are participants in a cleanup campaign organized by Banlastic Egypt, an environmental project launched by a group of youth in the Mediterranean city. The project seeks to raise the public’s awareness of plastic pollution and how single-use plastic waste harms marine life if it eventually ends up in seas and oceans.
