Another successful Green Up Day.....beautiful weather, tons of volunteers, and now, clean and green roadsides throughout the entire state! Thank you to everyone who went out on or before Green Up Day, the first Saturday in May. Many towns have reported less trash this year, so that is a very good thing!
Green Up Day has passed, but you can Live the Green Up Way Every Day. How can you do this? Here are 10 things that you can do throughout the year:
*Pick up litter when you see if, especially if there is trash can nearby.
*Pick up litter when you are out in the outdoors, if you see it, like on a hike in the woods.
*Encourage local businesses to do their part by keeping their parking lots and lawns litter-free.
*Teach the young children in your life about the importance of litter-free living.
*Plant a tree or a garden, an activity both beautiful and rewarding!
*Recycle and reuse as much as possible, to keep trash out of the landfills.
*Support/participate in your local Conservation Commission
*Encourage your local schools to become more involved in Green Up Day
*Live sustainably by being mindful about your use of natural resources
*Spread the word about Green Up Day!
