IN MEMORY OF IAN KIERNAN, AO
Ian Kiernan, AO
Founder and Chairman of Clean Up Australia
1940 - 2018
Our beloved founder, Ian Kiernan AO, passed away on 16 October 2018.
Ian believed that Clean Up belongs to the millions of volunteers who have taken to their streets, beaches, parks, bushland and waterways to remove the rubbish that is bothering them.
More recently this has extended to the thousands who take actions such as saying NO to a plastic bag at the checkout, refusing a single use item, or who join us via our social media campaigns.
One man's vision created Clean Up Australia, the nation's largest community mobilisation effort which is now firmly embedded in Australian and global culture.
One of Ian's requests was that, rather then sending flowers, people support his passion and commitment by making a donation to Clean Up Australia. A donation in his name will assist us to continue and expand his work to preserve and protect our precious environment.
Because as Ian so clearly claimed E = 1.
