Are you ready for #worldcleanupday ?

Today is world cleanup day -
What is this ?
As the name suggests, this is a day in which many cleanup events are organised worldwide.
Plogging, beach walks, stand up paddle cleanups and a lot of other fun ways of cleaning will be part of this initiative.
Do I believe it will make much of a difference to the amount of rubbish? Probably not so much, as the quantities are huge! Do I believe it will help? Yes.

Why?
  1. It’s a great way to find new creative ways of cleaning up. With many associations getting involved and the opportunity of being on the media , every year there are new activities coming up. This might seem ‘superficial’ but it’s actually a great way of enlarging the target of the clean up operation from just the few environmentalists to the rest of the population (from kids to elderly, from couch potatoes to athletes and so on...)
  2. It gets more people in touch with the issue of pollution and waste. So while cleaning up just a part of town for a few hours might not seem like much of a thing, it will still make the participants aware of the issue to the point (maybe) ..if this will shift their behaviours then it is definitely a win!
  3. it can be a powerful tool to show your council that you want it different, that there are active citizens that care and you can demand their support by showing images of degraded areas

Do you want to get involved?
1- Go out for a clean up operation with your family and share it widely on social media . Use the #worldcleanupday and let’s fill as many media as possible with some examples of positive active citizenship ! 

2- MAP IT! This will make it possible to map troublesome spots for local councils to focus on 

3- Search for an already organised activity in your area, they should have advertised it on social medias or why not get in direct contact with the local organisations? ! If you are in Italy, the  Legambiente 'puliamo il mondo' page has many suggestions of events to join 

And last of all, don't forget to have fun and get social while cleaning up your neighbourhood - who says that cleaning should be boring? 
just Make sure to follow safe practices, check out the website if you are unsure on how to protect yourself while making the good deed!
