Clean Up provides simple response to shared problem
Ian Keirnan | March 2, 2012When Clean Up Australia Day started 22 years ago founder Ian Keirnan had no idea that it would one day become a global movement of millions of dedicated people. He believes that when you take a simple action to a shared problem, the sky is the limit.
There has never been a more important time for the people of Australia to take action and get involved in environmental initiatives to preserve our biggest resource – Australia.
When we started Clean Up we had no idea that it would be as vibrant 22 years down the track as it was in 1989. Back then the community was incensed by the amount of raw sewage on our beaches and by the fact they couldn’t eat fish caught in our harbour.
