A powerful tool for change: action

On September 21st the Parley Global Cleanup Network came together across this blue planet to celebrate World Cleanup Day with a powerful tool for change: action. We hosted over 4,818 volunteers in over 21 countries. From underwater cleanups in Indonesia to more than 2,000 people mobilizing in Argentina, we experienced firsthand the impact of collaboration without no frontiers. There are no boundaries in the oceans, and every piece of plastic trash removed is a win for the future. Below are some highlights from around the globe.

Thank you to our partners, collaborators and every volunteer for making a difference.
