The Issue

North Goa & Calangute, a beautiful coastal town in India, is being overshadowed by an overwhelming amount of rubbish scattered on its pristine beaches and vibrant streets. As a tourist, it was heart-wrenching to witness such a breathtaking region marred by waste, detracting from the natural beauty and cultural richness that this jewel of Goa has to offer.

The issue of litter in Calangute is not only an eyesore but also poses significant environmental threats. Plastic waste and other non-biodegradable materials damage marine ecosystems, harming local wildlife and disrupting the natural balance. Furthermore,  local businesses & tourists  suffer as the area's charm and cleanliness are integral to the town's economic health. According to the Goa State Pollution Control Board, the amount of solid waste generated has been on the rise, with significant contributions from tourist-heavy areas like Calangute.

To address this growing concern, we call upon local government authorities, community leaders, and environmentally-conscious organizations to launch a comprehensive clean-up initiative. This initiative should include regular cleaning schedules, increasing the number of waste bins in strategic locations, and implementing strict penalties for littering. Public awareness campaigns are also vital, highlighting the impact of litter on the environment and encouraging responsible waste disposal practices among residents and visitors.

By signing this petition, you support a cleaner, healthier Calangute, preserving its natural beauty for future generations and enhancing the experience of both residents and visitors alike.

This will also benefit the people of india with job opportunities and wellbeing.

 Join us in urging officials to take immediate action and implement sustainable waste management practices in Calangute. Let's work together to restore the charm of this stunning destination by keeping our beaches and streets clean. Sign the petition today to make a difference.
