Clean Up Australia

Clean Up Australia is an annual event that encourages Australians to clean up their local environments by picking up litter and reducing waste. Launched in 1990 by Ian Kiernan, it aims to raise awareness about the importance of protecting the environment and promoting sustainability. The event often involves community participation, schools, and local organizations coming together to clean parks, beaches, and streets. It highlights the impact of litter on ecosystems and encourages responsible waste management. Through this initiative, participants contribute to a cleaner, healthier Australia while fostering a sense of community and environmental stewardship.
