We are finding it more often these days, rubbish everywhere. From toilet paper to couches. We use to take a spare bag for other people’s rubbish that we would collect. Now we take several bags. Even the big companies need to do more about waste. It’s great to see so many people involved. Awesome just awesome. Keep up the great work Matt 👏👏👏

We so appreciated being part of the clean up. A lot of planning and long hours from the committee to get this to happen every year.

Well done Matt! This is how we keep the tracks open. Stewardship is one of the greatest parts of the hobby.

Good on you!! I have caught some grubs in the act and wasn’t scared telling them off and alerted the authorities. If we don’t protect our reputation we will loose the privilege.

New York City for years would tow barges holding 500, tons of garbage out to sea dump in the Atlantic. Think of it 7+million people living on an island. Asian countries the largest producers of plastic. China has the largest fishing fleets in the world drift nets made of plastic rope as much as a mile long get lost in Pacific northern hemisphere. There is an area of the Pacific Ocean near Central America where ocean currents have deposited 85 billion tons of plastic dead marine life and lost fishing nets full of dead fish turtles sharks whales squids. Speaking of New York / Long Island again I've been driving a truck/53' to Long Island to an incinerator plant I have a smoke stack 200 ft tall on top of a huge building. Picked up 45,000 pounds of melted aluminum scrap. Everything mankind creates today involves plastics, all plastic comes from oil. Think of this nylon polyester polyurethane vinyl Kevlar polypropylene, fiberglass (glass fiber reinforced plastic proper terms) all oil products. Through tooting my horn.

Well done to everyone out there getting their hands dirty to help keep our country and out world beautiful. Im often cleaning up after other people sadly but never more than Clean Up Australia Day each year when I join in with Forestry NSW, National Parks, Local Councils and numerous 4wd clubs to help clean up some of our local bush lands. If we will chipped in we could make a huge difference and show that us 4wder's are trying to do the right thing and look after the place. As for educating others, Videos like this and my Clean Up Australia Day ones or even just showing better behaviour and cleaning up campsites will help but simply leading by example at all times even if you don't film videos. Out with some mates and see some rubbish, stop and clean it up.

Good on everyone involved for helping keep the island open for tourism & reducing the danger to wildlife. Not good that this video has so few views. Seems not many people in the 4wd community think cleaning up the places we want to go is worth their time. That's bloody shameful

Yeah unfortunately we often see these videos do poorly because they’re not look at how poor my driving is videos.

I live in Guatemala where we have the two most pollutant rivers in the world. Guatemala doesn’t have a regulated garbage management. I pay a small amount every month to Ocean Cleanup who does an amazing job! ❤️

Oh really that’s sad to hear.

@@MadMatt4WD Rio de las Vacas flows under the landfill in Guatemala City. From here it collects hundreds of tons of garbage, mostly plastic, transporting it into Rio Montagua. Rio Montagua then transports the garbage into the Pacific Ocean. Rio Montagua alone contributes with 2% of all garbage into all oceans. That is more than any other river in the world. As a comparison, all airplanes in the world release 1.7% of all CO2. That’s less than what Rio Montagua does with plastic into the ocean. Google for pictures as well as Ocean Cleanup Guatemala if you want to learn more. Ocean Cleanup has a KZbin channel too.
