Calling All Volunteers for The Great Global Cleanup 2022

Our planet’s waterways, green spaces, and communities are overflowing with litter. The problem is bigger than any individual can handle; it requires a global effort. You can help by participating in the Great Global Cleanup.

Investing in Our Planet means taking action. For individuals, invest your time in cleaning up your local community. It’s one of the easiest ways to participate in Earth Day and get involved in larger environmental action.” –Kathleen Rogers, President, EARTHDAY.ORG.
