Climate change is not just a concern anymore, it is a crisis. Greater population worldwide has been ignoring this crisis for quite long, but as the world proceeds, it is moving more towards a global apocalypse. However, some people just will not give up on this world and as part of that, they came out on September 21, 2019, to take a small step to make this world slightly cleaner. Over 20 million people in about more than 180 countries came out on the road with one dream, "A clean world".
Globally organised by Let's Do It World (LDIW), World Cleanup Day is the biggest civic movement of 21st century, with a goal for cleaner and better world for the present and future generations. This is not a goal of one single individual or country or continent; in fact it is one that crosses borders and defies religious and cultural differences. Bangladesh too was part of this movement on "World Cleanup Day".
JCI Bangladesh, in partnership with IDKIDS Foundation, organised the "World Cleanup Day" in Mirpur-11 this year. The other partners were Grameen Shikhkha and Green Heroes. With participation of over 673 volunteers, they cleaned the entire Paris Road in Mirpur, cleaning about 564 kgs of trash and waste products. The National Vice President of JCI Bangladesh, Arman A Khan, along with national directors Mehedi Hossain and Mahmud UnNabi, also took part in cleaning up the street.
Prior to the cleaning, a rally took place demanding for a clean and safe Bangladesh. The sponsors for the event were Techno Drug Limited and Infozillion Teletech Limited.
