Keep McIntosh Beautiful is challenging the whole community to get outside and #CLEANYOURBLOCK! If you have adopted a highway, park or spot, plan a day in March or April for pickup. Or get your own group together and plan a pickup on the waterfront or in your neighborhood.
Would you rather plan something besides litter pickup? Other awesome ideas below. Let me know the date/time of your project and I'll announce it for you in case others want to join in. I'll make sure you have plenty of garbage bags, trash grabbers, vests, snacks and water.
During the Great American Cleanup, Keep America Beautiful affiliates (like KMB), partner organizations, corporate partners and millions of volunteers:
* Remove litter and debris from roadsides, highways, shorelines, and waterways for safer, cleaner communities
* Plant trees, flowers, and gardens to strengthen our community’s green infrastructure
* Clean and restore nature trails, recreation areas, and playgrounds to encourage play and physical activity
* Recycle aluminum cans, plastic bottles, electronics, paper products, tires, clothing, and even junk cars to give garbage another life
* Rebuild public spaces in communities struck by natural disasters to renew social connections and
* Restore urban, suburban, and rural business districts and thoroughfares to spur economic impact
