In 2008, a citizen of Estonia started the "My Estonia" project to encourage volunteers across the country to clean up parks, forests, and garbage dumps. Volunteers registered on a website to select cleanup locations and indicate if they needed tools or vehicles, while the media helped spread awareness. On one Sunday, over 50,000 volunteers participated and worked with local authorities and youth councils to organize logistics and distribute necessary supplies, resulting in a massive nationwide cleanup effort.
