Dear Friends,
I hope you are ok during these difficult times.
Due to the Covid-19 situation and safety measures in force, it's not possible to organize large-scale activities. This situation has made it impossible for us to organize the national cleanup action. But however, we are using this time to prepare for summer cleanup activities with the hope that the covid-19 situation will be better.
We hope this situation will come to an end soon and make it possible for us to continue organizing environmental activities. We wish all our supporters around the world to use this period to reflect more and be more aware of how to protect mother nature.
Hugs to everyone,
Dear Green Friends
First of all, we wish that all of you are ok and healthy. We are living in strange and difficult times, but it is exactly these times that makes us better understand the importance of a clean environment in public health.
Also this year Albania participated in World Cleanup Day. But differently like we are used to organize the national cleanup actions, due to the Covid-19 situation and limitations applied by authorities, this time the cleanup has been organized in small groups (not larger than 20 volunteers).
Although the situation, people joined the cleanup and gave their personal contribution to nature. All over Albania different NGOs, central and local government institutions, business communities, students and many more took part in the World Cleanup Day in Albania.
This year we introduced “The Theme of the Year” for the cleanup. And we started it by launching a new green initiative called “Clean Roads”. This day was a great day for Albanian nature. Green Line Albania managed to organize thousands of volunteers all over the country.
Different activities were organized by informal groups, artists, volunteers, kindergartens, schools, businesses and municipalities all over the country. The most meaningful one has been organised by a famous musician and a group of artists kids, called Playing Clean. Cleaning while giving a life concert in the Soda Forest in the coastal city of Vlora.
We aim to raise environmental awareness, and we believe that education through action is the best way to achieve this goal in Albania. As every year our cleanup action got the attention of many online and TV media channels.
This was the 13th national cleanup action organized by Green Line Albania.
Cleanup actions are now a tradition in our country thanks to our work in the last 9 years.
Till the next cleanup action, we wish you to be safe and healthy.
Green Greetings,
Green Team

General Overview:
63 days of challenges have been completer during the World Cleanup Day preparations in Albania. Together with our Green Line Team of volunteers we have traveled to many cities in Albania and organised meetings with our local teams to get more information on the environmental issues across the country.
Main Activities:
In the countdown to World Cleanup Day Sept 21, 2019 we have organized cleanup actions almost daily in problematic areas of the cities to raise awareness for the big day. Since this is the high season for tourism in Albania, the majority of the cleanups where focused on some of the most visited areas of Albania. We are using the Trash Out - App to report illegal dumpsites all over Albania and also promoting the App to get more people involved so can have an up to date Digital Trash Map of Albania.
Approaching the finishing line:
With 14 days left to go before #WCD2019 our team is highly motivated to every day get more people involved to join us on World Cleanup Day, Saturday the 21st of September. These last few days will be even more intensive for all of us. We will continue to organize more cleanup actions, organize open meetings, train more volunteers to lead groups in cleanup actions, contact local and central institutions, get more businesses on board and spread the news of World Cleanup Day in Albania.
Join us, share the hashtag #WorldCleanupWay & #LetsDoItAlbania and post on your FB page, let’s make Albania clean.
