September Challenge: World Clean Up Day

September Challenge: World Clean Up Day - Happy Earth®

September is “Cleanup Month” with World Cleanup Day hosted on September 18, 2021. We're asking our community to join the effort and end the summer strong with an Ambassador Community Clean Up!

Cleanups are scheduled throughout the globe this month. Celebrate by joining an event, finding a local organization, initiating a pro-active group, or taking part in your own private cleanup.

Every year, World Cleanup Day reports the most littered items found. Previous years have seen cigarette butts and food wrappers taking the top spots in polluting our natural spaces. While your out picking up trash this month, take note of which item(s) you find most often littered and let us know your finding in our Work Report.

This month, points are awarded for picking up trash around your community: parks, trails, beaches, or anywhere you see discarded trash littering our planet.
