跟著垃圾去旅行之淨灘篇
Waste Hunting in the Ocean Coastlines

海岸線是我們珍貴的自然資源。在淨灘過程中，我們常常發現塑膠瓶蓋、膠袋、即棄餐具、煙頭、打火機，甚至是數十年前的飲品膠樽。更令人驚訝的是，有些垃圾遠從數千里外漂流而來，最後停留在香港的沙灘上。這些海岸垃圾不僅破壞景觀，更反映了我們的生活習慣與消費文化。

「跟著垃圾去旅行」的淨灘活動，邀請大家在享受海邊美景的同時，親身參與清理工作，讓大自然回復潔淨。透過觀察和分析垃圾種類，我們能更深入理解塑膠污染的根源，並反思日常生活中的消費習慣，從而實踐減塑生活，共同守護海岸。

Our coastlines are treasured natural spaces, yet they often reveal the hidden story of waste. During clean‑ups, participants may find plastic bottle caps, bags, disposable cutlery, cigarette butts, lighters, and even beverage bottles dating back decades. Some of this trash has traveled thousands of miles before washing ashore, showing that marine litter is not only a local issue but a global one.

Through the “Follow the Trash Journey” coastal clean‑up, participants can enjoy the seaside while taking action to restore its beauty. By collecting and analyzing the types of waste found, we gain valuable insights into our consumption habits and the culture behind them. This hands‑on experience is both eye‑opening and meaningful, inspiring us to rethink plastic use and reduce waste at its source, so that our coastlines remain clean and vibrant for generations to come.
