23rd June 2010
Volunteers of the Clean Upper Dharamsala Project have joined Jodie Underhill and her team of Mountain Cleaners in their fourth clean-up of Triund in the month of June 2010 alone. Almost 20 volunteers gathered on Monday, 21st June to collect rubbish in and around Triund. During the main tourist season, the Mountain Cleaners meet every Monday morning to provide a voluntary rubbish separation and collection service for Triund.

Triund, the most popular trekking destination in the McLeod Ganj / Bhagsunath area, had seen its environmental and sanitary situation deteriorate over the past two decades. Increasing levels of rubbish lined the path to Triund and accumulated on the top. Rubbish was either tossed down the slopes of Triund, or burned and thereby transformed into toxic gasses. However, the Mountain Cleaners have set out to reverse this trend.

5th of June, World Environment Day, is celebrated every year all over the world contribute to a healthier living environment. And since from the day it was observed, it has inspired many governments, organizations, businesses, and individuals in making a better and sustainable world. The Clean Upper Dharamsala Project was also founded on this very day in 1994 and ever since then,we have been celebrating World Environment Day by organizing different activities and encouraging our people to participate. Likewise this year, we organized a public mass clean up to encourage everyone to take responsibility for the environment they live in and thereby also providing a beautiful opportunity to take a step with the rest of people around the globe to clean up the world, our only home.
