Clean Up Australia
Clean Up Australia Limited is a not-for-profit Australian environmental conservation organisation founded by Australian Ian Kiernan, and co-founder Kim McKay, in 1989. It works to foster relationships between the community, business and government to address the environmental issues of waste, water and climate change. Since its inception, Clean Up Australia has grown to include other projects and campaigns including Business Clean Up Day, Schools Clean Up Day, Clean Up the Alps, Clean Up the Kimberley and Clean Up the World. The organisation is behind Clean Up Australia Day, as well as other environmental projects and campaigns.〔Sally Jackson, "Exploiting great deeds for the common good" (Features section), ''The Australian'' (All-round Country edition), 6 September 2010, p 29 accessed 24 February 2012 via factiva.com (Document AUSTLN0020100905e696000be)〕〔"Column 8", ''Sydney Morning Herald'', 22 September 1989, p 1 accessed 24 February 2012 via factiva.com (Document smhh000020011117dl9m00tte); "CLEAN Up Australia, which is organising a national clean-up day on January 21, now has 41 groups registered to take part. ..."〕
Clean Up Australia Day is held on the first Sunday of March every year, and encourages people to clean up their local areas. Any person can register a place they plan to clean up on the Clean Up Australia website, and others can join them there. Activities on the day include removing large items such as car bodies from water ways and the collection of general waste lying around.
==History==
Clean Up Australia Day was first held in January 1990.〔 The idea was borne out of an Australian Bicentenary event, "Clean-Up Lake Macquarie" which was instigated in 1987 by Ivan Welsh as Mayor of Lake Macquarie. Then followed the local "Clean Up Sydney Harbour" event in 1989 with more than 40,000 volunteers who collected some 5,000 tonnes of rubbish. The 1990 ''Clean Up Australia Day'' event was launched by the then Prime Minister, Bob Hawke over the initial opposition of the then state Premier, Nick Greiner.〔"PM Shoulders Clean-up Plan", ''Sydney Morning Herald'', 18 September 1989, p 7 accessed 24 February 2012 via factiva.com (Document smhh000020011117dl9i00rvy); "The Prime Minister launched a nation-wide foreshore clean-up program yesterday to help Sydney overcome its beach pollution problems, but the Premier, Mr Greiner, described the plan as a 'publicity campaign'. ... The Prime Minister said the community campaign to clean up the nation's 37,000 kilometres of coastline was a follow-on from last January's Sydney Harbour clean- up, during which 40,000 people collected 5,000 tonnes of rubbish - 4,900 tonnes more than expected."〕 Greiner later reversed his position and offered his support for the event.〔Darren Horrigan, "Even bigger Sydney area clean-Up plan", Sydney Morning Herald, 7 December 1989, p 2 accessed 24 February 2012 via factiva.com (Document smhh000020011117dlc700zgi)〕
"The Rubbish Report" is produced each year from data collected by surveying participants. As of 1990, 94% of rubbish was from packaging. By 1993, the campaign was focusing more strongly on sorting the rubbish collected into recycleables, and Kiernan was using Clean Up Australia Day to advocate for changes to legislation surrounding reduction of packaging and returning packaging to companies. In 1994, over 8,000 sites were cleaned up as part of the day.〔http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/Previousproducts/1301.0Feature%20Article71995?opendocument&tabname=Summary&prodno=1301.0&issue=1995&num=&view=〕 In 2008, Keirnan put a focus on bottled water, advocating for the expansion of container deposit refunds in Australia.〔"Put Down the Bottle". ''Government News'', Vol. 28, No. 1, Feb 2008: 18. ISSN: 1447-0500.〕 In 2012, sponsorship cutbacks and a drop in private donations caused the organisation to let go all of its paid staff.〔Miriam, Steffens.
