The International Coastal Cleanup Trinidad & Tobago – ICCTT brings organisations and individuals across Trinidad and Tobago together to remove trash and debris from the local beaches and waterways, identify the sources of that debris, and change the behaviors that allow it to reach the ocean in the first place. Carib Glass Works were apart of the International Intercostal Beach Cleanup 2017 at Las Cuevas this year. Volunteers gathered at Las Cuevas from as early as 7:00 a.m., registered, received t-shirts, gloves, garbage bags and a short briefing. Throughout the morning, teams scoured the beach collecting garbage, mainly old tyres, debris, bottles and other stuff. Afterwards, all the garbage collected was weighed totaling in excess of 900kg. This was a joint effort between Barefoot Wines and Carib Glass Works to aid in conserving the environment.
