October: Unblocktober (United Kingdom)

Unblocktober is a citizen-led initiative observed in the United Kingdom every October, aimed at promoting healthier drains, sewer systems, and waterways. Launched in response to environmental concerns over improper waste disposal, the campaign encourages individuals to make small changes in their waste management habits. Participants are urged to pledge against flushing harmful items like wet wipes and cooking oils down the drain, which contribute to blockages and pollution. The initiative also promotes the use of eco-friendly products, community clean-up drives, educational workshops, and creative recycling projects. Engaging in these activities fosters a sense of community responsibility while raising awareness about sustainable waste practices. The movement is supported through social media, using the hashtag #Unblocktober to spread knowledge and inspire action.
