Hi,

Each year, 18 billion pounds of plastic pollution flow into our oceans. The time to act against this crisis is now.

From now until Earth Day (April 22), we call on you to focus on cleanups because small efforts amplified globally have huge impacts on our ecosystems and help protect and restore our shared home. Last year, we had over 13 million volunteers in 187 countries. This year we want to go even bigger. 

Find a cleanup happening near you or register your own cleanup.

Cleanups are a way to unite as a community while restoring an area to what it was before it was polluted. The beauty of partaking in cleanups is that almost anyone can create change in their community — and for the planet.

Join us for the Great Global Cleanup this year and with your help we can end the plastic crisis. 

If you are unsure how to get started check out our toolkit!

Thanks,

Michael Karapetian
Great Global Cleanup Coordinator
