“Let’s Do It!” Bosnia and Herzegovina

“Let’s Do It!” is a project begun in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2012 to clean up illegal landfills and plant trees. To date, over 186,000 volunteers have participated in the program. Approximately 13,500 tons of waste has been cleaned up and nearly a half million seedlings of different species of trees have been planted. Volunteer actions culminate in a “Let’s Do It  – Clean Up the Country in 1 Day” and “Let’s Do It – Million Seedlings in 1 Day” events. One hundred fifteen municipalities already participate in the program, and the goal is to get all municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovinia to become involved. The official organizer of “Let’s Do It” events in the country is the Association of Citizens “Ruke” in Sarajevo.

The program is credited with being a force for positive change. “With our work, we want to bring hope for better tomorrow to the population and a belief that this country can be better and more beautiful place for life.”

“Let’s Do It!” in Bosnia and Herzegovina is part of the global “Let’s Do It World” movement, which includes 113 countries and 18 million volunteers.
