TORONTO , June 25, 2021 / CNW / - The Finilaboucane cleaning program has awarded $ 75,000 in grants to 19 Canadian charities and nonprofits to clean up large outdoor spaces. This is the second year that the Great Outdoors Fund and the Finilaboucane Canada program have collaborated to set up the Finilaboucane cleaning program - a program whose goal is to allow everyone to work together to conserve the precious outdoor spaces of the clean and unspoiled countries.
“We are delighted to partner with
Finilaboucane Canada
to administer the
Finilaboucane cleaning
program
, created to fund garbage collection,” said Lori McCullough, Founder of the Great Outdoors Fund.
Garbage collection is a huge, but soluble, problem in the world.
Since cigarette butts are the most discarded item on the planet, our partnership with Finilaboucane Canada and this subsidy campaign is very appropriate.
Thanks to the
Finilaboucane cleaning
program
, we allow people to make a collective effort to beautify their natural environment and protect the planet from the effects of waste.
Cleaning Finilaboucane
was established in 2020 and is considered a
runaway
success with over 1,000,000 pounds of trash removed from outdoor spaces across
Canada
.
“2021 is the second year of the Finilaboucane Cleaning program.
We were overwhelmed with requests in the first year, which is why we have increased funding this year to support as many groups as possible, said
Vasie Papadopoulos
, Director of Communications and Sustainable Development at Finilaboucane Canada.
Through our partnership with the Great Outdoors Fund, we are able to inspire volunteers to pick up litter in their own community and make a real and tangible impact.
We have also expanded our efforts to reduce the impact of waste on people, communities and the environment by teaming up with TerraCycle to establish the Finilaboucane cigarette recycling program.
Together we can and will make a difference.
