Let’s Do It World (LDIW) is a global organisation and movement that tackles the environmental challenges related to the ​mismanaged solid waste crisis by mobilising millions of positive-minded people into coordinated local and global actions and ​moving towards a clean and waste-free planet. LDIW aims to achieve the dream of a clean world by mobilising 5% of the ​world’s population for cleanup actions.

LDIW’s main objectives include coordinating and supporting the environmental actions of its global movement, inspiring and ​empowering leaders to raise awareness and move countries towards more sustainable solutions. LDIW’s network has ​established local teams in over 150 countries and rising.

LDIW’s flagship project is ‘World Cleanup Day’ (WCD), which takes place on 20 September annually, uniting millions of ​people from almost every country worldwide for the biggest waste collection day in human history. In 2024, it was added ​to the UN’s official calendar of International Days and Weeks. Since 2018, WCD has engaged almost 91 million people, from ​211 countries and territories, removing 543,000 tons of mismanaged waste in global actions focused on cleaning up their ​countries.

The model consists of usage of technology, extensive communication and marketing actions, community-based activism and ​large cooperation between various NGOs, businesses, government institutions, etc. The main tasks of its HQ are to support ​and empower leaders in countries, promote cleanup actions, and inspire people around the world, plus support and share ​know-how via the international network to help more countries become clean.
