    The "Early Morning Drive" initiated by Catch volunteers is a community-driven effort to check and clean the surroundings. The main objective of this drive is to collect plastic bags and waste before the rainy season to ensure rainwater can reach the ground unimpeded.
    The initiative involves volunteers from the community coming together early in the morning to comb through the local area, such as streets, parks, and other public spaces, to identify and pick up any litter or debris that could potentially block rainwater flow. By doing this before the rainy season, they aim to prevent clogging of drains and waterways, which can lead to flooding and other environmental issues during heavy rains.
    The collection of plastic bags and other waste is crucial because plastic is not biodegradable and can persist in the environment for a long time, causing harm to wildlife and ecosystems. By removing plastic waste from the surroundings, the volunteers are not only facilitating proper rainwater drai
