Here at MyLife, we support all initiatives and charities committed to making our planet a better place for us, the animals and the environment. Keep Australia Beautiful Week takes place once a year, and in 2021 it will run in late August. Established in 1968, Keep Australia Beautiful was Australia’s first sustainable and anti-litter campaigner. Since then, they have been working state based offices and local community groups to raise awareness on how we can all live more sustainably. Their mission is to grow a community of Australians committed to keeping our country beautiful!
