REPORT

The Palau stage was held in Koror. The weather was good. Even though it rained twice during the event: once just before the opening ceremony and once after sorting trash, nobody get caught in the showers. Participants ranged from elementary school students to seniors. Everyone was enthusiastic and punctual. The event ran smoothly, and it was a great success. We collected 73kg of litter, which is far more than expected!

COMMENT

🏆 Meet the Champions: Trash Titans 🏆 The winning team, Trash Titans from Ngeremlengui State, had an unexpected start. Only two members arrived at the venue, so they asked a nearby volunteer—Ray D'Diich Isao, who was helping set up tents—to join them. He agreed, forming the complete team just in time. They were the first to check in and focused on picking up cigarette butts, a key strategy that led to their victory. Despite being a last-minute team, their teamwork and attention to detail stood out. Trash Titans will now represent Palau. We wish them the best as they showcase Palau’s passion for a cleaner planet!
