campaign with the European Parliament that encouraged global viewers to pick up
trash in their communities. Liz has since created other “Trash Challenges” that
provide both a real and positive take on our planet’s plastic pollution
following the theme “every piece counts.” Liz also shares content on marine

PAUL WAYE

Hi, my name is Paul Waye.

I am a 55 year old ex-Brit living in the Netherlands (now officially Dutch), and
I am perhaps.. maybe..hopefully.. the “hardest working plogger in the World”!

A grand claim for sure! haha. But let’s see if I can back it up. Oh gosh, I have
a lot to live up to now! 

WHEN I STARTED
My first official plog was in 2011. I was on my run commute to work when I
noticed all this trash in the hedges. So I bent down, picked some up and made a
tweet about it. 
Although it wasn’t the first time I did something like that, it was the first
time I did it and made a social media comment on it, so I take that as my first
time
(yep, it was 5 years before the Swedes came up with the word plogging, so I just
said ‘look what I picked up while running’).


 


SHEYLA RAVELO PEREZ

Sheyla Ravelo Perez is Miss Cuba International and was the reigning Miss Earth
Cuba in 2022. She has a passion for sustainability and protecting our oceans.
Growing up in Cuba, she has a deep-rooted connection with the ocean and has
always strived to live in a way that protects it. Sheyla serves as an example to
others by doing cleanups regularly and using her voice to spread awareness about
caring for our environment. On top of this, her platform entering Miss Earth is
to combat overconsumption in fashion and showcases this through her reuse and
reimagination of old dresses into new creations.


 


CHRISTINE FIGGENER

Marine biologist, Dr. Christine Figgener, who works for the Footprint Foundation
in the US, lends her voice and comes to support World Cleanup Day as an
ambassador from Germany: "We are in a plastic pandemic. For years I have
witnessed the destructive effects of plastic in our oceans to our animals and it
is becoming increasingly clear that also our health is directly jeopardised. To
turn things around, we need to take massive countermeasures, raise awareness and
mobilize as many people around the world as possible. World Cleanup Day is
exactly the kind of global platform that can do just that. That's why I'm an
ambassador.”

Thank you so much for the inspiration, Christine and Let's Do It Germany!

media events

it.”
