It’s highly recommended you check out this very inspirational video …a sign of rising consciousness levels occuring across the world right now…
The campaign “Let’s Do It!” was a grassroot initiative to clean up the country of Estonia from illegal waste. There was over 10 000 tons of illegal waste lying around all over the country and it was an outrageous plan —
to clean it all up on one day!
On May 3, 2008 with help of 50 000 volunteers more than 10 000 tons of garbage was gathered and Estonia was cleaned up from illegal waste.
…thats 4% of the population of 1.3 million helping out…
…or the equivalent of 57 million people in India working together…
(it’s amazing what can be achieved when people unite…)

An amazing story. I was wondering, didn’t Estonia have a waste collection service? Did they get one in place after the clean up?
To give alittl insight on the collection service question, in Europe certain types of waste and certain sizes of waste cost a lot to haul away, even basic garbage collection is paid for, hence the illegal dumping, people are also lazy sometimes lol.
Oh how wonderful!

This is a wonderful demonstration of how to make something happen!
I have a feeling that all the media exposure, as well as community awareness and activism involved in this project will have an effect on the amount of dumping that will continue afterwards.
It’s great to have cleaned up the forests. Now it’s necessary to prevent it from happening again.
Good show!

Excellent job done. All countries in the world need to follow this.
Involve NGOs like Art of Living. Make it happen worldwide. Many other such grey patches can be removed easily provided WILLINGNESS is there.
This is how communist countries used to work….A lot of people building something, for instance railways, for free, just volunteering, believing in the higher cause.
50 years later…everything colapsed! The countries, the system, people’s lives lost purpose…All in the name of money.
