Let's Do It! World
Let's Do It! World is a global civic movement that started from Estonia, asking people all over the world to join a series of local, national and regional clean-up events. The Let's Do It! movement was first conceived in Estonia in year 2008, where a country clean-up action called Let's do it! Estonia in 2008 (in Estonian: "Teeme Ära!") cleaned up 10,000 tons of illegal waste by more than 50,000 volunteers in one day.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Teeme ära 2008 )〕 Following Estonia's lead many countries also started their own country clean-up events.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Finland gets spring cleaning )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ukrainian Participants Clean Up Their Village )〕 In 2011 a new initiative called Let's do it! World was started with the aim of promoting massive clean-ups from 24 March 2012 till 15 September 2012.
Today, the movement has grown into a network of 112 countries. All together, 13 million participants have been engaged in movement's activities.
Let's Do It! World is an accredited member of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
==The origins of the massive cleanup movement==
On the 3d of May 2008 over 50,000 people came out of their homes to clean up Estonia, the rest followed the process via all the media channels. That's 4% out of a population of 1,3 million - which would equal 15,3 million in the USA or 57 million in India. The idea spread from Estonia to the whole Europe and beyond.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Anti-garbage campaigners plan mass Internet-led clean up )〕 Next spring, in 2009, Latvia and Lithuania cleaned their countries with more than 250,000 people participating and have done it henceforth for three years, engaging more people each year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=AFP: Massive clean-up drive in Latvia, Lithuania )〕 On 20 March 2010 Portugal cleaned their country with 200,000 people.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Massive countryside clean-up in Portugal )〕 Slovenia followed shortly, breaking all records with 270,000 people (which is 13% of the overall population of the country) taking part in the action. In the beginning of June the same year, Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine was cleaned.〔 By the end of 2011 more than 2.5 million people have participated in Let’s Do It! cleanup actions in 16 countries – Estonia, India, Slovenia, Serbia, Finland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal, Bulgaria, Moldova, Ukraine, Cambodia, Russia, Hungary and Brazil.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Let's Do It!
