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?

Litter Project supports her work wholeheartedly. We also humbly hope that this website helps spread a similar idea to even more people that it might reach the corners of the globe. At this time in human history, we clearly need all the bright lights shining.

This is a great opportunity to set aside some time to help others doing  something you’ve always wanted to do… and to be in good company with millions of others who have joined efforts in the spirit of service.

If you haven’t yet decided what you want to do, or don’t have lots of free time, I encourage you to participate in LitterProject, by cleaning up litter in a favorite– or simply hurting– community spot. Bring a bag or two, a pair of gloves, and maybe even a friend, and pick up trash and dispose of it in a thoughtful way. This is a simple way to make a difference and lets you participate in something great.

Don’t let the day go by…
