Hi,

Please join us for an Earth Day Live event this Wednesday, August 16 at 12 pm EST entitled How We Can Solve the Plastic Crisis through Cleanups. This digital event will focus on getting involved for World Cleanup day and further the discussions on how to end plastic pollution. 

The Great Global Cleanup is EARTHDAY‍.ORG's flagship volunteer program, spearheading cleanups around the world. With World Cleanup Day just over a month away, we're bringing awareness to the fight against global solid waste and plastic pollution in our oceans, land and air. The conversation will focus on how you can get involved for World Cleanup Day this year as well as the highly anticipated Global Plastics Treaty.

This Earth Day Live event will feature international voices leading global cleanup efforts. The plastic crisis requires widespread and immediate attention, and you can join the fight on World Cleanup Day. 

We have the opportunity to turn the tide on plastic pollution, will you join us?

The event will be approximately 1 hour and hosted on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and on our webpage. By RSVP'ing, you'll receive a reminder on the day with a link to view the event.

Current panelists include:

• Heidi Solba — President and Head of the Global Network at Let's Do It World and World Cleanup Day
• Aidan Charron — End of Plastics and Canopy Project Manager at EARTHDAY.ORG
• Ana Lê Rocha —  Director of Global Plastics at GAIA, Leader for World Cleanup Day Tanzania
• Michael Karapetian (Moderator) — The Great Global Cleanup Coordinator at EARTHDAY.ORG

We look forward to an engaging conversation on the future of plastic pollution through cleanup efforts.

Best,

Michael Karapetian
