Waste is actually waste, unless it is wisely used. The worldwide running civic mass movement that began with Estonia in 2008 is now in Nepal as well, with the motive to clean up illegal waste. In the World cleanup day on September 15,2018 it is expected that people from 150 countries will stand up against the global trash problem that we have self-created, will be cleaned and will be the biggest civic action that anyone had imagined. It just doesn?t focus on cleaning up but also aims to unite people from different communities around the world, raising awareness to have a dream fulfilled to get a clean and healthy environment with zero waste by better implementation to live in a healthy and clean environment with the massive effort of the people around the world. Nepal being a part of this ambitious mission, people from Thamel, Kathmandu also conducted the waste mapping program on 15th November,2017 and the cleanup program on 18th November,2017 with the involvement of youths from Green society Nepal, Mr. Robin Chapagain, Waste mapping head of Let?s do it Nepal and ganesh wagle as well as three representatives from Let?s do it, Mr. Paul Martensson from Sweden, Mr. Harry Lurcher from England and Mr. Luke Day from USA organized a cleanup event in around 1 sq.km area at Thamel, Kathmandu. The program was carried on two different dates with the motive to involve three representatives of Let?s do it in the program. 15 illegal trash points were mapped and cleaned on the respective days, and even the whole area along with the illegal trash points were cleaned.
