Businesses are encouraged to focus their action on Clean Up Day, Tuesday February 26, with schools running their own Clean Up on Friday March 1, and youth and community groups taking to their streets over the weekend of March 2-3.
Participating in one or more of these events is the perfect opportunity to join with family, friends, neighbours and colleagues to remove all the rubbish accumulating in your local park, bushland, beaches and waterways before it kills our wildlife.
Online registrations are free and now open at www.cleanupaustraliaday.org.au.
Urging individuals and groups to continue the impetus that Clean Up founder Ian Kiernan AO created through his efforts, managing director of Clean Up Australia, Terrie-Ann Johnson is keen to remind us that every Clean Up volunteer is Ian’s successor – and that any change starts with you.
“Clean Up Australia Day is the nation’s largest community mobilisation event, and 2019 is the perfect time to band together in Ian’s honour, celebrate what has been achieved, show your support for his vision and to continue his dream to Clean Up Australia,” said Terrie-Ann.
“Change starts with you. The key to success is stopping litter becoming rubbish. There are so many actions every one of us can take to help reduce the eight million tonnes of plastic entering our oceans worldwide each year.
“So why not book-mark today in your journey and join us for a 2019 Clean Up.”
To register your clean up event or make a donation go to www.cleanupaustralia.org.au. All monies raised through donation is allocated to the purchase of materials provided free of charge to the community.
