WILLEMSTAD – Curaçao Clean Up (CCU) has gained government support for its recently launched Green Wave movement as the organization prepares for World Cleanup Day Curaçao 2026.
The board of Curaçao Clean Up recently visited the Ministry of Health, Environment and Nature (GMN), where the delegation was received by Prime Minister Gilmar Pisas, who is also responsible for the GMN portfolio.
The meeting was intended to inform the government about the objectives of Green Wave and preparations for this year's World Cleanup Day on Curaçao.
Green Wave was launched approximately two weeks ago as a movement aimed at encouraging greater environmental responsibility throughout the Curaçao community.
CCU chairwoman Myrthe George explained that the initiative is centered on patriotism and behavioral change. The organization wants residents to translate their love for Curaçao into a greater sense of responsibility for keeping the island clean and protecting its environment.
According to CCU, Green Wave is intended to become a growing community movement involving residents, businesses, organizations and other sectors of society.
One of the main objectives of the meeting with Pisas was therefore to invite the Curaçao government to become a partner in Green Wave and support World Cleanup Day Curaçao 2026.
Following the talks, CCU said it was pleased with the outcome and confirmed that the government will become another partner supporting the Green Wave movement.
The organization thanked Pisas and his delegation for their willingness to participate and contribute to efforts aimed at creating a cleaner and healthier Curaçao.
CCU believes lasting change will require broad cooperation throughout the community, with residents and organizations united behind the common objective of creating a cleaner, healthier and more attractive Curaçao.
The Curaçao Clean Up delegation consisted of chairwoman Myrthe George, secretary Sharo Bikker and treasurer Jenny Ignacio.
