Creating Positive Impact Through Community Cleanups
As citizens of the world, we all have a responsibility to take care of our environment.
But how can we make a meaningful impact on the planet?
What are areas with low barriers to entry or effort to make an impact?
WHERE DO WE START?!

District Cleanups is an organization working to reduce waste in Washington D.C. by empowering individuals to take action and make a difference in their own communities. District Cleanups was founded in 2019 with the mission of reducing waste in Washington D.C., one neighborhood at a time. The organization works with local businesses, schools, and community groups to organize cleanups throughout the city.
Through these cleanups, they are able to remove litter from public spaces and educate people about proper waste disposal practices. The organization also works with local businesses and organizations to promote sustainable practices such as composting and recycling. They provide resources for businesses on how they can reduce their environmental impact, such as switching from single-use plastics to reusable containers or using biodegradable packaging materials instead of plastic wrap or Styrofoam containers.
In addition to their work with local businesses, District Cleanups also organizes community events such as beach cleanups and park cleanups that allow individuals to get involved in making a difference for their environment. These events are open to everyone – no matter your age or experience level – so anyone can join in on the effort! At these events, volunteers learn about proper waste disposal techniques while helping keep public spaces free from litter and debris.
By participating in these events, individuals are able to make an immediate impact on their environment while learning more about sustainable practices that they can use at home or work too!
District Cleanup’s mission is simple: empower individuals through education and action so that together we can create meaningful change for our environment!
Take part in one of their cleanup events, support them through donations, or start your own local cleanup group!
You too can help make a difference for our planet!
