Dear Friend,

This Saturday, September 21, is National Cleanup Day and World Cleanup Day – a day when people of all backgrounds volunteer, remove trash and inspire us to create a waste-free community and world. As a presenting partner, Earth Day Network invites you to take part in this worldwide cleanup.

In the U.S., cleanups will take place across all 50 states. In 2018, almost 2 million volunteers cleaned up their communities.

This year, we’re expecting even more participation, but we need you — Find a cleanup near you and join in!

Internationally, citizens from 157 countries are expected to participate in cleanups this year, uniting 18 million volunteers for a single day of action. To see how to take part in your own country, visit worldcleanupday.org. 

National Cleanup Day and World Cleanup Day are great ways to see first-hand the extent that waste, especially plastic pollution, affects all parts of our lives. The momentum created this Saturday will bolster excitement for Earth Day Network’s flagship volunteer program, the Great Global Cleanup, and drive momentum ahead of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day in April 2020. 

We hope you’ll join in – turn out and clean up this World Cleanup Day. Help us make the world a little more beautiful where you live!

Earth Day is proud to join global cleanups this World Cleanup Day with support from Wells Fargo.
