About Planet Clean Up

Welcome to Planet Clean Up, my personal mission to make a positive impact on the environment by doing something simple but effective—picking up litter. I’m Peter Atherton, and this initiative is all about leading by example, sharing tips, and raising awareness about how littering affects nature and wildlife. I believe small actions can make a big difference, and I want to inspire others to take part in keeping our planet clean.

My Mission

With Planet Clean Up, I’m focused on:

  • Cleaning up litter: I spend time picking up trash from public spaces like parks, beaches, and streets, helping keep these areas clean and safe for wildlife.
  • Raising awareness: I post regularly about the negative effects of litter on the environment and share tips on how we can all reduce waste.
  • Encouraging change: I want to show that anyone can make a difference with just a bit of effort and time—whether it's by picking up litter or being more mindful of their own waste.

What I Do

1. Litter Picking: I’m out there regularly, picking up trash in my local area and beyond. It’s simple but effective, and I share my progress online to show how easy it can be for anyone to get involved.

2. Sharing Tips and Insights: I use social media and blog posts to share what I’ve learned about the impact of litter on our environment and wildlife. From the dangers it poses to animals to how it contributes to pollution, I aim to raise awareness and offer practical advice on how to minimize waste.

3. Inspiring Others: While Planet Clean Up is just me, I hope to inspire others to get involved in their own communities. I believe that even if just a few people start picking up litter, it can lead to a much bigger movement toward cleaner spaces and healthier ecosystems.

Why It Matters

  • Protecting Wildlife: Litter is a serious threat to animals, who can mistake it for food or become trapped in it. By picking up trash, we can help prevent needless harm to birds, mammals, and marine life.

  • Preserving the Environment: Litter doesn’t just look bad—it causes real damage to ecosystems. It pollutes soil and water, disrupts natural habitats, and contributes to the growing problem of environmental degradation.

How You Can Get Involved

  • Join Me: It’s easy—grab a bag and spend a few minutes picking up litter in your local park or neighborhood.
  • Spread the Word: Talk to your friends, family, and community about why it’s important to keep our spaces clean.
  • Reduce Waste: Make small changes, like using reusable bags or cutting down on single-use plastics, to help reduce the amount of litter that ends up in the environment.

Planet Clean Up is my personal effort to make the world a little cleaner, and I’d love for you to join me. Together, we can make a real difference—one piece of litter at a time!
