Happy Keep Australia Beautiful Week, everyone! Running from August 5th to 11th, this year’s theme is all about making sure that when you’re out and about, leave only your footprints. Whether you’re just hearing about it now or have been participating since day one, there’s still time to get involved and make a difference!

Keep Australia Beautiful Week isn’t just another week on the calendar. It’s a nationwide call to action—a reminder that our daily choices impact the environment around us. From the trash we generate to the ways we dispose of it, every small action adds up. This week serves as a wake-up call to be more mindful and take responsibility for our beautiful country, not just for a week, but all year long.

How to Get Involved...

Option 1: Start a solo mission

Sometimes, the best way to make a difference is to start with yourself. Here’s how you can contribute:

Option 2: Gather your team of eco warriors... 

If you're more of a social butterfly, team up with your efforts and consider these group activities:

  • Join a Clean-Up: there might be an event in your local area, school, or workplace.
  • Fundraise: Kick off a fundraiser at your school or workplace and donate the proceeds to Keep Australia Beautiful, get creative with it!
  • Attend Events: Contact your state’s KAB organisation, local council, or community groups to see what events are happening near you.
  • Volunteer with Landcare: Join a Landcare Volunteer Groupas part of Landcare Week to help regenerate your local area.

Option 3: Shout it from the tree tops!

  • Register Your Efforts: Whether you’re going solo or rallying a group, register your activities with Keep Australia Beautiful to let them know what you’re doing.
  • Share Your Impact: Post about your conservation efforts on social media using the hashtags #KeepAustraliaBeautifulWeek, #KABWeek, #LeaveOnlyFootprints, and more.

Plus! There are some amazing prizes up for grabs! By registering, you could win eco-friendly goodies from Go For Zero, Paper Saver, TerraCycle, Roo Bags, and Snap Send Solve.

As we move into the second half of Keep Australia Beautiful Week, let this be a reminder that there’s still time to get involved. But more importantly, let’s carry the spirit of this week beyond just these seven days. Our planet needs us to keep showing up for it, day in and day out. So, when you’re out and about... what footprint will you leave behind?
