Environmental cleanups are efforts to remove pollutants and contaminants from natural areas, such as rivers, lakes, and forests. These activities aim to restore ecosystems, protect wildlife, and improve the health of communities. Cleanups can involve removing trash, treating contaminated soil, or restoring habitats affected by human activities. Organizations, volunteers, and government agencies often collaborate on these projects. They may use various methods, including bioremediation and chemical treatments, to address specific types of pollution. Successful cleanups can lead to cleaner environments, increased biodiversity, and enhanced recreational opportunities for people in the area.
