Today we are visiting the town of Arugam Bay on the east coast of Sri Lanka.
Arugam Bay is a popular surfing and tourist destination.
The town was badly affected by the 2004 tsunami when many of the buildings were destroyed.
We will be talking to Henry Konzok. He is the founder of a company which is fighting plastic pollution in Arugam Bay.
The company WasteLessABay collects and recycles waste plastic. It also offers alternatives to one-use PET water bottles. And it provides educational programmes to school children and tourists.
