World Cleanup Day unites millions of volunteers, governments, and organisations in 197 countries to address the global waste problem and build up a sustainable world.
The theme for 2024 is “Make Room for Life.” It is a global call to action, reminding us of the need to combat the rising tide of waste that is smothering us. The theme emphasizes the profound impact of our collective efforts. By cleaning up our surroundings we are making space for new possibilities, for nature to bloom, and for communities to enjoy safer and healthier environments.
World Cleanup Day goes beyond picking up trash. It is a powerful statement to preserve the environment and create a sustainable future. By taking part in this international event, you not only contribute to the immediate improvement of your local surroundings but also become an ambassador for change, inspiring others to follow suit.
World Cleanup Day is a tool to catalyze change. All participating countries are aiming to engage 5% of their country’s population to catalyze positive change and accelerate the transformation of circular economy and sustainable development.
Cleanups are not meant to replace regular waste management. World Cleanup Day is organised by the largest environmental organisation Let’s Do It World. Let’s Do It World has become a force that binds together groups, individuals, and organisations that would otherwise never dream of working together towards the same goal.
