is a not-for-profit organisation from Harajuku Japan, that engages in street cleaning activities.
What began as a small group in Harajuku back in 2003, has now extended across various prefectures of Japan, and has gradually found its way abroad such as Sri Lanka, Thailand, France, and Italy, just to name a few.
Greenbird Sydney was formed in August, by Sydney resident and Japanese language teacher, Stephanie Rosier.
Ms Rosier has been passionate about the environment since childhood, picking up rubbish from the streets whenever she came across it.
However, after seeing Greenbird's activities on TV one day, she decided that it would be more "efficient and enjoyable" to work with others, rather than by herself.

She hopes that the green bibs provided by the organisation will attract people's attention and that people can change their behaviour about littering.
"I want people to realise that littering is not cool".
"A clean town cleans people's hearts" - that is the concept of the group, she explains.
