What if every person on the planet could do something as simple as picking up one piece of litter a day?

Our Mission

To keep our planet free from garbage forever.

​

To get every person globally involved in this great and important job of taking care of our planet.

​

It all starts with us doing our part to remove litter and refuse single-use plastic.

Our Story

During an early morning run on a beach in Mexico, Dmytriy Pereklita was taken back by the amount of garbage he came across. He began to remove the litter one by one, most of which was single-use plastic.

Dmytriy removed over 4 bags, two buckets and several handfuls of garbage from the beach; but it was not enough. He knew for every piece he picked up, he was leaving thousands behind to be washed up into the sea.

Since then Dmytriy found a new purpose...

But he knew he could not do it alone. Dmytriy was determined to find a strategy that would encourage every person on the planet to contribute to resolving this global pollution problem; and that began with an app that would inspire every person on the planet to pick up 1 piece of litter a day...

One person picking up one piece of litter a day is nothing, but a million people picking up one piece a day can change the world.
