CleanPlanet Day in December
The final Clean Planet Day of 2023 held a unique promise that extended beyond traditional cleanups and into the realm of connection and collaboration. Verónica took the lead this time, utilizing the day to reach out to a potential partner in Mexico. As the year drew to a close, we aimed to sow the seeds of collaboration and build bridges with like-minded individuals and organizations around the globe.
Verónica's journey towards this collaboration began with a conversation with a former Clean Planet Day participant in her hometown in Mexico. This serendipitous encounter led her to Jaime Malpica, a passionate advocate for environmental consciousness. Jaime's dedication and commitment to creating a sustainable future shone brightly in a video Verónica stumbled upon on YouTube. His values aligned seamlessly with the essence of Clean Planet, and Verónica felt a surge of excitement about the possibilities that lay ahead.
The core of this potential partnership lies in the principles of reciprocity and reverence for the planet. It's about the mutual exchange of ideas, resources, and energy to amplify our collective impact. December's Clean Planet Day served as a symbol of our willingness to foster connections and collaborate with individuals who share our vision of a cleaner and more sustainable planet.
But Clean Planet Day in December wasn't just about forging connections; it also marked a moment of delightful experimentation. Armed with our new Christmas present—winter hats equipped with headlamps—we embarked on our first-night trash cleanup. Our chosen path led us from our neighborhood to a brand new pizza place we had been eager to try, conveniently located about 20 minutes away.
The night was as chilly as our previous Clean Planet Days in Colorado, resulting in a few frozen fingers—perhaps an indication that Clean Planet gloves might be a worthwhile addition to our toolkit. However, the cold couldn't dampen our spirits as we ventured into the night, guided by the warm glow of our headlamps. Laughter and camaraderie filled the air, reminding us once again that Clean Planet Day is not just about cleaning up; it's about the joy of shared experiences and the sense of purpose that unites us.
As 2023 came to a close, December's Clean Planet Day was a beacon of hope and a testament to our unwavering commitment to the planet. It was a day that encapsulated the essence of Clean Planet—an amalgamation of connection, collaboration, and, of course, a fair share of fun.
As we step into the future, we eagerly anticipate the new partnerships, experiences, and adventures that await us in our continued journey toward a cleaner and more sustainable world.
Clean Planet Day is not bound by the confines of daylight; it's a movement that transcends time and place, and it's one that welcomes all who wish to join.
Here's to a new year filled with even more impactful Clean Planet Days, where we can make a world of difference—one day at a time.
