💧 World Water Day reminds us that water isn’t just what comes out of the tap — it’s every river, every coastline, every ocean that sustains life.
But plastic pollution is threatening it all.
Preventing marine litter starts with all of us. Green VI is working with partners across the BVI to prevent marine litter at its source — because what we do on land directly impacts our waters.
On World Water Day, take meaningful steps: reduce plastic, reuse what you can, and help protect our islands for generations to come. 🌊

FEATURED PROGRAMMES
We Recycle
The WE RECYCLE programme continues to demonstrate the power of collective
action in transforming the British Virgin Islands’ approach to waste management.
Through dynamic partnerships with the BVI Government, local businesses, schools,
houses of worship, and community groups, we are fostering a circular economy
where waste is redefined as a valuable resource.
Green Certification
Green Certification incentivizes, guides and educates businesses in best green operation practices and provides Bronze, Silver, Gold and Leader Accreditations. Developed in partnership with the Ministry of Natural Resources, the programme provides critical financial support to environmental betterment through its Green Fund, and will guide the “greening” of the BVI Public Service’s Strategic Policy.
BugOut
This Virgin Gorda community-driven initiative reduces the breeding sites of the Aedes aegypti mosquito that causes diseases such as Zika, dengue, and chikungunya. Outreach education, clean ups and community participation are integrated into safe, data driven vector control operations. Partnering with the Government, we’re expanding mosquito education throughout the BVI.
Green Schools

Lavity Stoutt Community College Centre for Applied Marine Studies, the BVI Red Cross and Green VI, to make schools in the British Virgin Islands more resilient, safe, healthy, and environmentally friendly.
This initative has now transitioned into the Green School program, administered as a collaboration between Green VI and the Ministry of Education.

WE RECYCLE
