World Cleanup Day

The organization says: “World Cleanup Day was created in Estonia in 2008. There, 50,000 people banded together to clear the entire country in just five hours. This simple idea has grown into a worldwide movement with millions of volunteers. Cleaning up litter has become an activity that connects people and groups.”
