Due to several scheduling conflicts, our Clean-Up-Day couldn\u2019t take place on the originally planned date. Canceling it altogether? Not an option, of course!

Especially in high-traffic areas such as lake and river shores, picnic and barbecue areas, or recreational facilities, litter can quickly pile up.\r\nThe problem isn\u2019t just about appearances. Litter left on the ground can pollute soil and waterways, put animals at risk, and create a significant amount of cleanup work. In Switzerland, around CHF 200 million is spent on this every year.\r\nBut there\u2019s also reason to be optimistic: the perceived extent of littering in Switzerland is declining. According to the 2025 IGSU littering survey<\/a>, it was at its lowest level since surveys began in 2015. \r\n

Highly visible trash cans and other situation-specific measures proved particularly effective. The effect was even stronger when these measures were combined with awareness campaigns. So the trend is moving in the right direction \u2013 but less still isn\u2019t less enough. That\u2019s why simple solutions are so important: they can help prevent waste from being created in the first place or ensure it ends up where it belongs. Everyone can play a part. \r\nBy the way: the next round of field experiments is taking place in food service areas around takeout locations; experiments along rural roads are planned for 2027.","text_element_text_element_layout":"default"}],"two_cols_bgcolor":false,"two_cols_spaltenbreite":"fifty-fifty-flush","two_cols_versatz":false,"two_cols_versatz_type":"default","two_cols_padding_top":"custom-0","two_cols_padding_bottom":"custom-0","two_cols_margin_top":"custom-0","two_cols_margin_bottom":"custom-0"},{"acf_fc_layout":"header_element","header_element_titel":"bb power:\r\nNo obstacle too tough.","header_element_typ":"2","header_element_size":"3-bold","header_element_fake":false,"header_element_margin-bottom":"custom-0"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_img_element","text_element_titel":"","text_element_titel_typ":"2","text_element_titel_size":"3-bold","text_element_titel_fake":false,"text_element_content":"Back to our Clean-Up team: for the crew, it was time to keep their eyes peeled, roll up their sleeves, and get to work!No thicket was too dense, no slope too steep.
