In 2008, the tiny nation of Estonia in northern Europe came up with this game-changing concept. In just five hours, 50,000 individuals came together to clean up the entire nation. A global bottom-up civic movement began on that day and took off like wildfire. This sparked the interest of individuals all across the world, who were motivated to adopt the same ambitious "one country, one-day" strategy. After 14 years, the straightforward concept has developed into a huge global movement with compelling leaders and millions of volunteers. Cleaning has evolved into a unifying activity that brings together individuals and organizations that would never have imagined cooperating on the same project.
