Which event illustrates a community-led environmental action?

• A. Clean Up Australia Day
• B. Fashion Week
• C. Stock Exchange Opening
• D. National Budget Announcement

Answer: (A)

Community-led environmental action is driven by local people who organize, participate in, and take responsibility for improving their own environment. Clean Up Australia Day fits this idea because it is a nationwide event organized by community groups, volunteers, schools, and local councils to remove litter and protect local habitats. People decide where to hold cleanups, recruit participants, and carry out actions that have a tangible, local impact, showing collective effort and hands-on environmental stewardship that originates from the community itself.

The other events are not centered on grassroots environmental action. A fashion-focused event highlights industry trends rather than community-driven environmental work. A stock exchange opening and a national budget announcement are formal, government or corporate affairs, not grassroots environmental initiatives.
