Saint Martin Island is a small coral island located south of Bangladesh's border and northeast part of the Bay of Bengal. It is a beautiful island and one of the most popular tourist destinations. The island is facing massive challenges with plastic waste that tourists leave behind, which has also impacted the coral reefs.
In a supermarket in Saint Martin Island, the currency is plastic! Residents of the island are now collecting plastic waste from all around the island and purchasing everyday essentials from that shop in exchange for plastic waste!
ALIANAz is extremely proud to be part of this initiative by purchasing grocery items for that exchange supermarket. Our dream is to make that island plastic pollution free in 2023! At ALIANAz, we are trying to take baby steps with our limited capabilities to create a better world for tomorrow.
