The current coastal environmental problem is the problem of garbage which is marine pollution affecting the balance of nature. Currently, there is a large amount of garbage which may be caused by local people and tourists or may come from other sources that are carried by seawater, which may cause injury or death to living things. Therefore, we should cooperate in collecting garbage and maintaining the cleanliness of the sea and coast. The importance of restoring the natural environment is something that all sectors should be aware of and should take serious action to achieve sustainable results. Burapha University Library is aware of these problems and has organized the BUU Green Library (Save the Sea, Love Bangsaen) project, which is an activity in the Green Library project for environmental responsibility towards the community, society and the environment.
The aims of Project
1. To enable library staff to participate in the care of nature and the environment, including participation in the community.
2. To create activities to promote learning and environmental conservation.
3. To reduce the amount of garbage and maintain the cleanliness of the beach.
The project was carried out as follows:
1. Contact and coordinate with Saensuk Municipality to organize a garbage collection activity at Bangsaen Beach on February 25, 2025.
2. Set the date and time for the activity to prepare materials and equipment for the activity.
3. Conduct a garbage collection activity at Bangsaen Beach, Chonburi Province.
