We also aim to unite the global community, raise awareness and implement true change to achieve our final goal– a clean and healthy planet. Our dream is to live in a clean and healthy waste free world. Over the next couple of years we will follow a detailed plan to ensure our dream becomes reality. First, we are actively recruiting for ambitious leaders willing to run the massive nationwide cleanups. Then, using technology, the best professionals, and our worldwide volunteer base, we will map the world’s waste. Our third step will be to clean up the entire world in one, massive cleanup day in September, 2018. And finally, we will bring together organizations, experts, and visionaries around the world to create a plan to stop the waste problem once and for all. We can keep our planet clean, but only if we do it together.
