WATCH: Grassroots Campaign Cleans Up Estonia in One Day

A grassroots [1] campaign of 50,000 volunteers cleaned up 10,000 tons of trash—in less than a day.
This video tells the inspiring story of how a small group turned one man’s dream into a national movement, endorsed by celebrities and politicians, and coordinated through high-tech twenty-first century technology. The campaign was called “Let’s Do It!” and it’s pretty inspirational stuff.
