One small change has been implemented this year that could have a large impact. In the previous years, refreshments were supplied to participants during the clean up. This year, people are asked to bring their own refreshments in re-useable plastic containers in an effort to minimize waste produced by the activity. The Earth Week Clean Up has become an annual event in Oakville, drawing new participants every year and seeing many returning volunteers. "We started out back in 1992 with only one site," said Dankowich. "Now we are the largest annual Earth Day clean up per capita. It shows the community does care." Dankowich is hoping the community members will come out in large numbers and have fun, bringing their whole family while at the same time, helping to preserve the environment.
