MILFORD HAVEN BUSINESS CIRCLE is calling on the community to join the launch of its new Litter-Free Zone.
In partnership with Keep Wales Tidy Pembrokeshire, the initiative aims to create a cleaner, greener town centre while promoting environmental responsibility and community pride.
The event marks a collective effort to raise awareness about the importance of maintaining a litter-free environment and highlights the far-reaching benefits of a cleaner town centre.
The organisation says that a cleaner, more attractive town centre is key to drawing visitors and potential investors.
This initiative is expected to stimulate economic activity, benefiting local businesses and encouraging growth in Milford Haven.
The project not only enhances the town’s appearance but also instils a sense of pride among residents. By improving cleanliness, the initiative aims to encourage more community participation in local events and activities.
Reducing litter has significant environmental benefits, including:
- Protecting Wildlife: Preventing harm to animals caused by ingestion or entanglement.
- Cleaner Air and Water: Reducing pollution in streets and waterways, fostering healthier ecosystems.
- Sustainable Practices: Encouraging recycling and proper waste disposal to cut down on the town’s environmental footprint.
- Creating Green Spaces: Supporting the development of habitats, recreational areas, and improved air quality for residents.
The Milford Haven Business Circle believes this initiative will set a strong example for other communities, demonstrating the power of collective action in fostering a sustainable future.
By joining this movement, participants can contribute to making Milford Haven a shining example of environmental care and community cooperation. Let’s work together to transform our town into a cleaner, greener space for all to enjoy.
