Purpose
World Cleanup Day is held over the course of a 24-hour period, usually in mid-September. There are numerous organizations that facilitate and host World Cleanup Day events globally. Like Earth Day, World Cleanup Day is non-partisan, apolitical, and is not affiliated with any national or global political partyor discrete ideology.
History
Global cleanup efforts have existed in many forms throughout human history, especially after widespread catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, and powerful tsunamis.[2]
In modern history, these efforts are typically undertaken by the affected communities, with support from various international organizations and NGOs, such as Red Cross, Oxfam, and other relief organizations but typically in post-conflict zones. They have included efforts to remove land mines, beach cleanup, and other municipal and non-governmental actions. Additionally, in many cultures, it is customary to organize regularly scheduled community cleanup efforts, such as the following.
Organizers
World Cleanup Day is a decentralized network, made of different grassrootsefforts. One of the largest organizers of global cleanup efforts is Let's Do It! World. Founded in Estonia, the organization successfully mobilized more than 50,000 volunteers for a single-day, country-wide cleanup effort that resulted in the elimination of 10,000 tons of illegal waste. The Estonian action, called Let's Do It 2008 emerged as a global model, spreading globally thereafter. Today, the movement has grown into a network of 150 countries. All together, more than 14.5 million participants have been engaged in movement's activities.
Participants
Participants in World Cleanup Days are typically volunteers, with coordination from non-governmental organizationswho assist in awareness-raising, logistics, and fundraising.
