We’re thrilled to announce that Dr. Christine Figgener, Director of Footprint Foundation is the ambassador for World Cleanup Day 2020.
"I am so excited to be named an ambassador for World Cleanup Day 2020! Being mentioned with the likes of Jane Goodall (previous World Cleanup Day supporter) is something I do not take lightly and I am thrilled to get the word out about World Cleanup Day this year," said Figgener.
World Cleanup Day 2020, the largest annual cleanup event that tries to mobilize 5% of the world’s population to go out and clean part of their communities, beaches, and outdoor spaces from plastic every third Saturday in September. The event is meant to raise awareness about the issue of plastic pollution in our environment and motivates people to actively combat pollution. Dr. Figgener joins the ranks of Dr. Jane Goodall and Jack Johnson, who have ambassadors of the event in the past.
"We are so proud of Christine to be nominated Ambassador for World Cleanup Day 2020. As Director of our Footprint Foundation, Christine has been incredible in spreading awareness about plastic pollution and we can't think of anyone better to be ambassador for World Cleanup Day for this year," said Footprint CEO, Troy Swope.
This year’s event falls on September 19th and we hope that you will join us. You can find a cleanup event near you here facebook.com, or you organize your own cleanup within your social bubble.
