All-Ukrainian youth movement Let's do it Ukraine is a member of the global movement Let's Do It World, which unites more than 50 million activists in 180 countries. Every year, on the third Saturday of September, the movement participants join the World Cleaning Day in their country — they go out to the streets of cities and collect the abandoned garbage and the collected waste, which is calculated on the scale of the whole country in tens of tons, is sent for recycling. The goal of this community is to develop an ecological culture, skills of proper waste management, and respect for the environment.
In Ukrainian Kamenets-Podolsk, there is a movement Take it away in the mountains. Local activists go on trash raids on a weekly basis: in summer and autumn, they collect trash in the Carpathians. The movement has grown to hundreds of caring citizens. Among them are teachers, programmers, businessmen, and musicians.
