What a great business engagement on Business Clean Up Day 2009. Nearly 400 businesses got involved; the companies and their staff made a great difference in lending a hand to our environment. They demonstrated again that environmental action is not only socially responsible but it also makes business sense.

A special thank to our Businesses Supporters 2009: Victoria Electricity, Sparke Helmore Lawyers, Barclays Global Investors, Astron Environmental Services, Jims Skip Bins, Avant Mutual Group Limited, Symantec and seqwater.

The involvement of all Business made a huge contribution to the overall facts and figures

• Over 630,000 volunteers all across Australia got involved
• collected an estimated 8,300 tonnes of rubbish
• on nearly 7,000 registered sites
• and donated 1,377,664 hours of their time which sums up to amazing 157 years of work

Thanks again for your involvement, you really made a difference.
