Please join this Ireland Facebook Group and participate on the beautiful Emerald Isle and beyond.

Many thanks to Sinead for getting this started!

From the fb page:

‘One Piece of Litter a Day – Ireland’ is an anti-litter campaign that aims to reverse the growing litter epidemic in our beautiful country. The philosophy is simple but powerful: If one person picked up an empty can, bottle or cigarette butt each day for a year, there would be 365 less pieces of rubbish blighting our land. Now imagine what would happen if 1,000, 10,000 or even 100,000 people in Ireland did the same. Collectively, we could make a real impact on our litter problem.

To be a success, this campaign needs YOU. Will you make the small but significant change in your daily life and commit to picking up one piece of litter a day?
