Reducing and avoiding single-use plastic is the best choice to help end plastic waste.

But once plastic waste has already found its way into our environment, picking it up is the next choice! Cleanups are organized around the world to help tackle the plastic pollution problem.

Joining a community cleanup is a popular way to clean up larger areas and also to meet other like-minded people choosing to make a difference. Others simply pick up litter in their daily lives.

To make our cleanup efforts count, we can’t just stop with picking it up. Collecting information on the types of litter found is integral, as it can provide important data to understand and, most importantly, fix the problem.

And remember "CARRY IN, CARRY OUT!" Be responsible for your own materials when you're visiting parks, having a picnice, etc.
