Clean Up Como
Raising awareness
After moving to Lake Como, Italy, in October 2018 - following 2 years in Germany, there was a noticeable difference in the cultural approaches between countries to rubbish & recycling.
Initially I started an instagram to highlight the issue, and show how easy it was to improve on the current state.
Purpose
A huge part of CleanUpComo revolves around education towards gratitude for the environments we have, and challenging the status quo towards littering and litter in general.
We have teamed up with brands such as Timberland, as well as other community organisations, to raise awareness, hold “clean-up” events, and help make an impactful change.
Creating Action
CleanUpComo is predominantly a small community of ex-pats, who now regularly either paddle-board/ hike/ clean the coasts and lake front - weather & Covid permitting of course!
We’re still in our infancy as a project and are aiming to continue growing the community throughout 2021.
