Hi there! Our names are Josh & Mik, and we founded the nonprofit Clean Planet Project in the summer of 2020. At the time, we both started to work from home and began going on a lot of walks around the pond by our apartment. With the pandemic, social unrest, and not to mention all of the negative things about the environment constantly on the news and social media - we started to brainstorm ways that we could help people and the planet.

We decided to start small and pick up the litter we saw on our walks. Then we thought, "It would be nice if there was an app that tracked our progress and let us share cleanups with other people..." and so began the early stages of the Litter CleanUp app! Little did we know that this app we created would grow into a volunteer network of awesome litter-picker-uppers around the world. Years later, we are overjoyed that thousands of people have joined us on this journey - made possible by generous donors who want to make a difference for the planet today, and for years to come.

We have so much fun cleaning the planet alongside all of you, and we can't wait for more good things to come for our CleanUp Crew!
