In this episode, you meet César González Fernández, the founder of CSFN (Clean Something for Nothing) and an EU Climate Pact ambassador.

clean something for nothing

César’s journey started in 2018 with something so simple yet powerful: picking up litter on his daily dog walk.

What began as a small personal habit quickly grew into a global movement inspiring thousands to take action for a cleaner planet.

Through the CSFN app, people in 84 countries have organized over 7,000 cleanups, collecting more than 880 tons of litter. César walks us through how the movement evolved, from a humble Instagram hashtag to a fully-fledged, user-friendly platform that makes cleanups quick, efficient, and fun. We also dive into the social impact of these community-driven efforts and why every single action, no matter how small, matters in driving real change.

One of our favorite parts? Cesar introduces the ‘Pick and Plant’ initiative, where every kilo of litter collected leads to a new tree being planted. It’s a brilliant way to multiply environmental impact while building community and global connections.
