Limpa Brasil Let’s do it! is really proud that there are a lot of Brazilian celebrities on board. Their pictures wearing t-shirts saying "Eu sou catador/a" - "I am a garbage collector" are being published in many of our partner magazines and the local newspapers along two other advertisements.
Between 2011 and 2012, fourteen Brazilian cities will welcome the Limpa Brasil Let’sdo it movement and call upon their citizens to clean public spaces of their home city. Limpa Brasil is a civil movement and believes in the will power of the Brazilian citizen to change his habit and his respect for nature and its country.
Let's do it! team in Brazil has started to prepare first cleanups in the country's biggest cities. The first two Limpa Brazil cleanups will be taking place on 6th of June 2011 inRio de Janeiro andBrasília, moving on to cover 12 other bigger cities by the end of 2011. The team is not timid in setting their goals - planning to engage at least50 000 people in each city.
From 5th to 10th of May there will be huge cleanups in two different continents: tens of thousands of volunteers in Estonia, Finland and Brazil will join forces and hands in order to make their countries waste-free.
In the past 2 weeks two Brazilian cities cleaned up their homes, streets and public places. All together 149 tons of recyclable materials were collected by 23,000 volunteers and left Brasília and Goiânia clean and beautiful!
