In 2025, we hosted 640 litter cleanups with the help of 2,643 volunteers. This resulted in over 1.8 million pieces of litter being picked up.
A Greener Future brings people together to protect shorelines and reduce litter pollution through cleanups, citizen science, and education. Your donation helps us keep that work moving forward.
