How To Participate

Do you have a favorite place with a trash or plastic pollution problem? This is what you can do:

1. Choose a site

Find a spot that’s important to you (your street, beach, park, favorite jogging route, school, etc…)

When choosing a site you may want to consider the following:


-	Choose a site that is linked to or directly related to a waterway. All of our waterways are linked and rubbish will eventually find its way into our oceans.

Find More Hands: In our experience it’s much more fun and motivating to gather up friends and family to join in. Many hands make light work.

2. Get prepared

Download and print out the Data Collection Sheet and one of the following Two Hands Signs to display at your project site:

-	One Park
-	One Beach
-	One Waterway
-	One Neighbourhood
-	One Street

Put on appropriate protective gear.YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH AND SAFETY.

Grab your camera and a pen to document your experience

Grab some bags or buckets for your rubbish.

3. Start the clock

.GO! Spend 30 minutes picking up as much trash as possible!

Again, take care and use protective gloves to make sure you do not harm yourself.

4. Record the evidence and show it off

STOP! Find a conspicuous place to set up your Two Hands Project sign sort and display what YOU achieved in thirty minutes.

Take a few photos for our web-site with
- you and your rubbish with the Two Hand Sign on display (example)
- the site you cleaned in the background.

ENGAGE with passersby who stop or comment, share the idea and share some plastic pollution facts.

Gather the data on the items you collected using the Data Sheet attached. This will provide us with valuable information to STOP plastic pollution at the source.

IMPORTANT – Dispose of your rubbish/recycling responsibly.
