Hello dear Good News community,
September 20 is World Cleanup Day—people around the world collect trash on this day. Last year, 114 million people in over 211 countries took part. In line with this, today we highlight a project actively fighting waste: in Marseille, a diving robot collected trash from the Mediterranean for the first time. Get inspired and join the world’s largest cleanup effort!
Enjoy reading, Selina
