Every third Saturday in September, World Cleanup Day, the world’s largest bottom-up civic movement to eliminate pollution and plastic waste, takes place. Since 2008, when the day of action was first launched by the Estonian citizens‘ movement Let’s Do It World!<\/em>, several million people around the world have come together every year to free streets, parks, rivers, beaches, forests and seas from carelessly disposed waste, thus setting a signal for a clean, healthy and plastic waste-free environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a responsible university, in 2020 Munich Business School also took part in World Cleanup Day for the first time. In the run-up to the event, the university had joined forces with the non-profit organization Orange Ocean e.V.<\/em><\/a>, which aims to create awareness for the pollution of the oceans and in which some MBS alumni and lecturers are also active, and called for a joint cleanup campaign at two locations in Munich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
