Hi,

Most people in the world don’t think about trash or plastic pollution problems. For others, landfills and dump sites in their backyards leave them no choice. Wilderness suffers, marine life is devastated and even our own health is harmed by waste in our communities.

As an EARTHDAY‍.ORG supporter, you recognize that limiting our footprint on the planet through actions such as picking up trash is critical to protecting our environment. With our partners, this World Cleanup Day we’re mobilizing millions of volunteers worldwide to pick up tons of trash and act on behalf of the world’s health.

Cleanups are often the first environmental action many people take. In 1970, 10-year-old Mary Lou took part in an Earth Day cleanup that sparked a lifelong commitment to safeguarding the environment. Today, she runs a shoreline cleanup group using cleanups as an educational tool and is a climate leader in her community.

The Great Global Cleanup is just one of EARTHDAY‍.ORG’s campaigns that protect the planet. Will you amplify your commitment to our planet with a donation to support these programs?

EARTHDAY‍.ORG’s programs drive solutions to global environmental problems. The Great Global Cleanup draws millions of people every year onto the path of environmentalism. Through climate literacy, we can teach the next generation the skills they need to address waste management, plastic pollution and climate change. The Canopy Project works to Restore Our Earth through reforestation. Advocacy work harnesses the power of your individual voices to effect policy change.

This World Cleanup Day, you can make a difference in the fight for our planet. Please give to the movement — together we will change the world.

For all of us,

Kathleen Rogers
President
