2008 THEME
As climate change remains an issue of critical global and local concern, the 2008 Clean Up the World campaign theme is "Start Today...Save Tomorrow" "Clean up our climate". Whilst almost all activities undertaken by our members address climate change directly or indirectly, you may choose to use just the first part of this tag line if your activity addresses other issues.

Participants will be able to create and enhance Google Maps of their activities, share them with volunteers and choose to have them displayed as part of Clean Up the World regional, national and international maps. This exciting new initiative will visually profile the variety and abundance of Clean Up the World activities around the globe.

NEW INITIATIVE! CLEAN UP THE WORLD AMBASSADORS APPOINTED
We are proud to announce our new Ambassador Program, an initiative which sees high profile people with a passion for improving our environment raise awareness of the Clean Up the World campaign.
Our first ambassadors are the grand daughter of legendary filmmaker Jacques Cousteau, Celine Cousteau, along with British adventurer David de Rothschild. They have been chosen because they share the vision of Clean Up the World's founder, Ian Kiernan AO, that each of us can turn our passion into action and address the many environmental issues facing our world today.
Please contact us if you know of any environmental champions in your region that we should consider as Clean Up the World ambassadors.
