September 15 “World Clean-up Day” Are you a ‘litter’ hood, or will you pick up litter in your ‘hood’?
Following the success* of Africa’s Biggest Cleanup, the Shoprite Group will again stage cleanup events across Africa on World Cleanup Day (15 September 2018).
“This global drive presents the perfect opportunity for people to get behind our initiative to act for change by cleaning their neighbourhoods and public spaces. Our aim is to start a movement by staging regular events and in this way initiate people into the culture of keeping our environment clean,” says Lunga Schoeman, CSI spokesperson for the Shoprite Group.
Anyone can join or organise a cleanup using the digital platform – www.actforchange.africa – developed by Shoprite in partnership with the volunteerism organisation, Brownie Points. The emphasis will again be on recycling with cleanup organisers being urged to partner with local recyclers or waste management companies.
