Every day, ordinary Australians are taking the initiative to create positive change and are inspiring others to clean up the world and live and work sustainably. Ian Kiernan is one such example. \u00a0<\/span>Formerly a builder and keen yachtsman, Ian initiated the annual\u00a0Clean Up Australia Day<\/b>\u00a0<\/b>in 1989 after being appalled at the amount of rubbish he saw whilst competing in an around-the-world yacht race.\u00a0In 1991 Ian was the recipient of the Order of Australia Medal\u00a0and in 2004, Ian was\u00a0honoured\u00a0as Australian of the Year for his ongoing work as an environmental campaigner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

We each have the opportunity to follow Ian\u2019s lead and instigate positive change. With our everyday choices, we can turn concerned talk into constructive action.<\/p>
