30 years of “Let’s Clean the World”
Let’s Clean the World is promoted by Legambiente in collaboration with Rai. And it is the Italian edition of Clean Up the World, the largest environmental volunteering event in the world. With this initiative, parks, gardens, streets, squares, rivers and beaches in many cities around the world are freed from waste.
Brought to Italy in 1993 by Legambiente, which assumed the role of organizing committee, it is present throughout the national territory thanks to the tireless work of over 1,000 groups of “environmental volunteers” who organize the initiative at local level in collaboration with associations, companies, committees and city administrations.
