The Great Global Cleanup
These events collectively demonstrate the incredible power of community action and the unwavering commitment of volunteers around the world to protect and preserve our environment. From the streets of Raleigh to the neighborhoods of San Francisco, and across the indigenous communities of Guatemala, these efforts have made a tangible difference in the fight for a cleaner, greener planet. Each of these initiatives serves as a reminder that no matter where we are, we all have a role to play in safeguarding the earth for future generations. As we reflect on the success of these events, let us carry forward the spirit of collaboration, hope, and determination, continuing to make a positive impact in our own communities and beyond.
Together, we can create a more sustainable and beautiful world for all.
The Great Global Cleanup is more than just protecting the environment from pollution, it's about changing communities for the better.
What is The Great Global Cleanup?
The Great Global Cleanup aims to rid the world of waste and plastic pollution for good through connecting the powerful Global Cleanup Movement. Plastic pollution is a crisis—one that demands systemic change, not just the cleanups we do every day. While we take action to protect our communities and loved ones, we need real commitments from leaders, businesses, and policymakers to stop the endless wave of pollution that we end up picking up.
EARTHDAY.ORG (EDO) is calling on governments, businesses, and communities to step up. A waste-free world starts with you—whether that means organizing a cleanup, pushing for legislation, or demanding corporate and governmental responsibility.
