People are concerned now more than ever about environmental issues. The impact we have on our planet continues to affect our natural systems as well as our quality of life. One of the biggest problems we face is waste management. Almost every activity we perform individually and as a society produces some form of waste. If we desire a cleaner surrounding, it is up to us to do our part to understand how we produce waste as well as being active in its disposal.
In 2008, a group of volunteers in Estonia started a campaign to cleanup illegal waste in the entirety of their country. In one day 50,000 volunteers worked together to solve a problem that their government believed would cost millions of dollars and thousands of work hours. To view the video: Click Here
Join us in creating awareness and helping to build a culture of personal responsibility when it comes to waste disposal. Seemingly minor adjustments in peoples everyday attitude towards waste can make a tremendous impact.
