CleanPlanet Day in July was an extraordinary celebration of community, coastal cleanup, and shared enjoyment, demonstrating that making a difference can be both purposeful and fun. In this blog post, we're thrilled to share the inspiring stories of dedicated community leaders who exemplify the spirit of CleanPlanet Day. Let's dive into their experiences:
Catalina Cambiassi's Coastal Cleanup:
Catalina Cambiassi, a passionate community leader, organized a cleanup initiative near Los Naranjos Beach off the coast of Santa Marta, Colombia. Her efforts brought together a group of 10 community members, all driven by a shared commitment to their environment. Together, they embarked on a kilometer-long journey, cleaning up the path to the beach. This collective responsibility yielded eight large bags filled with various types of garbage, showcasing the tremendous impact a united community can make.
Beach Cleanup and Riverside Delights:
After their cleanup efforts, Catalina's group transitioned to enjoying the beautiful beach and river, which naturally converge in this scenic location. This day epitomized how CleanPlanet Day seamlessly combines community service and leisure, demonstrating that caring for our planet can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
Fun in the Sun with Community:
Catalina's group didn't stop at just cleaning up; they infused their day with laughter, joy, and shared experiences. They savored sandwiches, quenched their thirst with a big jug of lemonade, and relished each other's company. Singing songs and playing musical instruments added a harmonious touch to the festivities. It was a day filled with fun and bonding, proving that CleanPlanet Day is not just about the environment; it's also about fostering connections and creating cherished memories.
CleanPlanet Day: Where Making an Impact is Fun:
Catalina's July CleanPlanet Day experience reminds us that our commitment to a cleaner, more sustainable planet can also be an opportunity for enjoyment and connection. It's a chance to spend quality time with family and friends while actively contributing to the well-being of our environment.

Shared Global Efforts:
CleanPlanet Day isn't confined to one location; it's a global movement. In San Miguel de Allende, México, Veronica Ramirez invited her parents and neighbors to join her in cleaning a park near her home. Their group went beyond picking up trash; they engaged in conversations with groups of teenagers in the park, encouraging them to participate in maintaining the cleanliness of their neighborhood and our shared home, Earth.
Meanwhile, in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, Andy Bayon's father began the day with a commitment to the cause by picking up trash during his morning walk and responsibly taking recyclables to the town's recycling center. Later in the day, Andy's own CleanPlanet Day experience was marked by sweltering heat and stickiness, but it was a memorable day he won't soon forget.
CleanPlanet Day is not only about cleaning up our surroundings; it's about creating moments of togetherness, forging bonds, and nurturing a love for our planet. Join us in making the next CleanPlanet Day a day of making a difference and having a blast while doing it!
