Clean up the Cayes is a a nonprofit based in Lake Tahoe and Belize. Its mission is to fight back against plastic and all forms of pollution in our global environment, both on land and under the surface, starting with Lake Tahoe and the Cayes in Belize.
Why Belize
Belize is where the founder of Clean Up the Cayes was originally inspired to clean up plastic. They are currently working on the initial concept of voluntourism clean up trips with an estimated launch of 2022. You can spend 7 or 10 days at a beautiful, beachfront, extremely inclusive yoga get away. Includes daily yoga, meals, fun adventures and of course volunteer time cleaning up the beaches in Belize.
Getting Creative due to the Pandemic
Due to the pandemic the NPO’s 72 mile scuba clean project of Lake Tahoe has been postponed until 2021. For Belize the trip will be launched in 2022. In the mean time the team is getting creative in the way to raise awareness and money towards a good cause. They will be hosting a outdoor Bingo game that will be hosted on Instagram Live. On Sunday, June 14th from 12- 4 p.m. you can join in the fun on the @cleanupthtelake Instagram. Organizers encourage participants to post a story that can be photo or video and tagging @cleanupthelake with your location.
