Global Big Weigh In
🌍 Introducing the Global Big Weigh In
🌊The Global Big Weigh In is a worldwide initiative led by Flossie and the Beach Cleaners, created to unite communities in a shared mission: cleaning our coastlines, protecting marine life, and raising awareness about the power of collective action.
It began as a national community event in Ireland, where volunteers came together not only to clean the coasts and safeguard the environment, but to highlight the positive impact we can all make when we work together. At its heart, the Big Weigh In was about building a community dedicated to caring for the places we live in — and showing that every piece of litter removed is a step toward a healthier planet.
In 2025, this grassroots movement went global with the launch of the first-ever Global Big Weigh In, involving 20 countries across the world. Volunteers collected and weighed a total of 3,835kg of marine litter, with Ireland leading the way at 2,525.4kg.
By weighing what we remove, we turn cleanup efforts into powerful data — creating a global snapshot of pollution and inspiring change through action. The Global Big Weigh In is more than a cleanup; it’s a celebration of community, responsibility, and hope.
