CLEANUP ADVENTURE

One more reason to pick up litter

During a cleanup walk in Mérida, Ralf got the most unexpected thank-you: a passer-by gave him a big hug and a kiss for keeping nature clean. Proof that people notice what we do.

SPECIAL INITIATIVE

370 kg

The City of Kwinana in Western Australia fitted simple nets over two stormwater outlets. In a few months they caught around 370 kg of wrappers, bottles, sand and leaves before it could wash into a nature reserve.

HOW IT STARTED

Travelling with a mission: together for a cleaner world

On our travels we kept finding plastic bottles on hiking trails, cans in nature reserves and packaging on beaches. So we stopped just watching and started picking it up. Wherever we go, we try to leave the world a little cleaner than we found it.
