Each year the world generates over 2 billion tonnes of waste. Trash clogs our oceans, fills our streets and litters huge areas of the planet. Launching today on World Cleanup Day, the Trash Hack campaign promotes simple actions people can take to combat waste in their neighborhoods, homes or even inboxes.
The
Trash Hack website provides examples of concrete actions people can take against waste, inspiration from others who have Trash Hacked their lives and tips on how to share their passion for sustainability.
Trash Hack is coordinated by UNESCO’s Section of Education for Sustainable Development. Tackling the waste topic is an entry point to a deeper engagement with global waste systems, sustainable consumption and linking issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss and waterways.
The Trash Hack campaign is supported by the Government of Japan.
