Around 400 people lined up from the Koronivia Road Junction to the Rewa Bridge for the Roadside Campaign on Saturday to allow voices, young and old, to come in solidarity and raise issues concerning the environment and the oceans.

The event was organized by the Pacific Recycling Foundation and Waste Recyclers Fiji Limited to mark World Environment Day and World Oceans Day.

Following the roadside campaign, the participants, including the students, gathered in a safe space and spoke out on the need to change our behavior and mindset toward the way people are treating their environment and oceans.
