An estimated 207 million PPE items — masks, gloves, face shields and more — have been littered across US roadways and waterways since 202, according to Keep America Beautiful’s National Litter Study.
Why is this important?
Studies have shown that cleanup events are vital in supporting local economies, protecting wildlife, and help us keep the environment safe and clean by assisting in the reduction of pollution and litter.
Participation in cleanup events also help you get to know your neighbors and meet like-minded people that are concerned about the environment.
