With World Clean Up Day being tomorrow, here’s where you can get your green activist groove on in South Africa!
Global (15 September 2023) — Whether big cleanups are your love language to the Earth or you’re simply getting into your green activism groove, World Cleanup Day is the perfect excuse to get your hands dirty!
This year’s World Cleanup Day is on the 16th of September (tomorrow) and will see millions of volunteers and organisations in 197 countries and territories do their part to reduce the messes our species have sadly made.
A massive display of civil society tackling big problems from the ground up, World Clean Up Day will see hundreds of events take place around the world from Argentina to Vietnam. Of course, South Africa is its own force to be reckoned with when it comes to World Cleanup Day, and even during lockdown, locals still found a way to lend a hand.
