đ World Cleanup Day đą
World Cleanup Day is a global social action movement that unites millions of people across the world to tackle the growing problem of waste and environmental pollution. Celebrated annually on the third Saturday of September, this event was first initiated in Estonia in 2008, when thousands of volunteers came together to clean up their country in just a single day.
Since then, it has evolved into a worldwide campaign involving more than 180 countries. The core aim of World Cleanup Day is to raise awareness about the harmful impacts of mismanaged waste, promote sustainable waste practices, and inspire individuals, communities, and governments to take responsibility for their environment.
Volunteers of all ages join hands to collect litter from streets, rivers, forests, beaches, and public spaces, showcasing the power of collective action. Beyond the act of cleaning, the event emphasizes education on reducing plastic use, recycling, and proper waste management.
It also encourages long-term behavioral changes that contribute to a cleaner and healthier planet. By bridging cultural, political, and geographical differences, World Cleanup Day proves that when people come together with a common goal, they can create a significant positive impact.
Ultimately, it is not just about cleaning up waste, but about building a sustainable future for generations to come.
