This weekend, the increasingly popular World Cleanup Day will take place in our country – DSV has also prepared for the occasion
World Cleanup Day is a global environmental protection event held every year on the third Saturday of September, i.e. on September 16 this year. Its goal is to bring people around the world together and encourage them to work together to keep the environment clean. For the first time this year, DSV Hungary also joined the increasingly popular initiative in our country.
In 1986, the Australian sailor Ian Kiernan noticed the pollution of the world’s seas during a competition and decided to try to do something about it. Upon returning home, he organized an action to clean up the harbor of Sydney together with environmentalist Kim McKay, which was more successful than expected: on January 8, 1989, approximately 40,000 volunteers removed more than 5,000 tons of garbage from the harbor and the surrounding beach. As a result of the initiative’s success, in 1992, the UN announced the event globally as World Cleanup Day, i.e. the world day for cleaning or garbage collection.
