Establishing a Lifeline for our Planet
Additional Information
We aim to establish a network of Keepers around the world who understand that we need to come together and take action now to give our planet (and humans) any chance of long-term survival.
Many of us around the world realize that our planet is in peril, whether it be climate change, industrial waste, or the litter and trash of our everyday lives.
We can't keep waiting for someone else to clean it up, it's not going to happen. We must be that someone.
Join our Facebook Group
Please join our Keepers of Earth Facebook group - a private group where Keepers can post environmental events, share successful cleanup stories, look to volunteer, or share locations that are in need of help.

Get Outdoors!!!
Get up and Get Outdoors
Get up and get outdoors! Whether it's fishing with your children, camping with the family, or boating with your friends, we need your help in keeping the environment clean.
We encourage you to help us take back our fishing holes that have been overrun by trash, hiking trails that have been littered with plastic bags and bottles, communities from people who use it as a garbage dump. Together, we will make a difference!
