Clean Up Australia Day is an annual event that encourages communities to come together to clean up their local areas. It’s a day that highlights the importance of keeping our environment clean and healthy, and it’s an opportunity for small businesses to make a positive contribution to their communities.

This February, Murmur Group had the opportunity to take part in the IMAA’s Australia Project Earth Initiative for Clean Up Australia Day. The team headed down to Hyde Park and the Domain to assist with clean up to ensure our small contribution was able to better the environment.

How Can Other Small Businesses Get Involved?

1.  Organise a Clean-Up Event

Small businesses can organize their own Clean Up Australia Day event, either on their own or in collaboration with other businesses in the area. This is a great way to show your commitment to the local community and to the environment. You can invite clients, your team, customers, and other members of the community to join in, and you can provide refreshments or other incentives to encourage participation.

2.  Join an Existing Event

If you don’t have the resources to organize your own event, you can still get involved by joining an existing event in your area. Check the Clean Up Australia Day website to find events near you. You can also get in touch with local community groups or councils to find out about events that are happening in your area.

3.  Donate to Clean Up Australia

If you’re not able to participate in a Clean Up Australia Day event, you can still make a contribution by donating to Clean Up Australia. Your donation will help support the organization’s ongoing work to protect the environment and reduce litter and pollution.

4.  Reduce Your Business’s Environmental Footprint

In addition to participating in Clean Up Australia Day, small businesses can also take steps to reduce their environmental footprint. This can include things like using sustainable materials, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing waste. By taking these steps, you can help reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and help protect the environment for future generations.
