It’s not just about my trash or your trash; it’s about our planet. It's a collective issue that requires a collective solution.

"It's not my trash; why should I pick it up?"  Taking care of Earth is the responsibility of all of us. Throwing the blame and doing nothing is not a solution. Every action, big or small, counts!

Over the years, as Projeto Gea, we have organised clean-ups not only along the seaside but also in mountainous areas, and we have seen a diverse array of participants from various countries. However, we couldn’t help but wonder about the current state of civic participation in volunteering events. Do you want to know why?
