In an international day of action for a ‘Clean Planet’, supported by CPRE [Alliance member] , global network of campaigners and organisations have come together to call for world-wide deposit return systems to stop the environmental damage caused by the vast amounts of drinks containers produced, sold and thrown away every day.
At 9.00am local time on the 9 May 2019 in each country, over a 24-hour period, the network of groups from 22 countries across five continents [1] released a series of aerial photographs and videos of messages written on hillsides, beaches and buildings calling for a ‘Clean Planet’.
The global stunt is aimed at raising awareness of the environmental impact of drinks packaging, with an international call for action for governments across the world to extend, update or introduce a deposit return system in each country respectively, as the best solution to drinks container pollution.
