Keep New Zealand Beautiful CEO Heather Saunderson says:

“The effects of climate change are becoming all too prevalent for New Zealanders and for some it can feel like a helpless situation. However, getting out in nature, in your community and making a visible difference collecting and cleaning up your patch can make you feel great. Taking action can ease climate anxiety, especially for our tamariki, and it’s good to know you’re doing your bit.”

Last year, a record breaking 67,400 volunteers took part, collecting a total of 655 tonnes of waste.
