Our beloved founder, Ian Kiernan AO, passed away on 16 October 2018.
Ian believed that Clean Up belongs to the millions of volunteers who have taken to their streets, beaches, parks, bushland, and waterways to remove the litter that is bothering them.
More recently this has extended to the hundreds of thousands who educate themselves and take actions such as saying NO to a plastic bag at the checkout, refusing a single use item, or who join us through our newsletters and on our socials.
One man’s vision created Clean Up Australia, the nation’s largest community mobilisation effort, which is now firmly embedded in Australian and global culture.
One of Ian’s requests was that people support his passion, either by joining the Clean Up effort and participating in an event, or by donating to Clean Up Australia. A donation in his name assists us to continue and extending everything he did to conserve and protect our precious environment.
Because, as Ian so clearly claimed, E = 1.
