Clean Up Australia Day 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Peninsular Beachfront Resort) — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 07:41:00 +0000

In 1989 an 'average Australian bloke' had a simple idea to make a difference in his own backyard - Clean Up Sydney Harbour. The event received an enormous public response with more than 40,000 Sydneysiders donating their time and energy to clean up the harbour.

The next year Clean Up Australia Day was born. Ian and his committee believed that if a capital city could be mobilised into action, then so could the whole nation. Almost 300,000 volunteers turned out on the first Clean Up Australia Day in 1990 and that involvement has steadily increased ever since.

This simple idea has now become the nation's largest community-based environmental event. Now in its 21st year, the event attracts hundreds of thousands of volunteers from the community, schools and businesses to help clean up, fix up and conserve their environment.

Key dates for the 2012 Clean Up Australia Day

Clean Up Australia Day - Sunday. 4 March 2012
Business Clean Up Day - Tuesday, 28 February 2012
Schools Clean Up Day - Friday, 2 March 2012
