Follow on Google News | Georgia's Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful Issues Great American Cleanup™ Challenge to Local CommunityEnvironmentally-Focused Non-Profit Invites Gwinnett County Citizens, Businesses, Organizations, Schools and Civic Groups to Take the Pledge before Taking Part in the Challenge Now through May 31, 2014
By: Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful “We really want 2014 to be our best year ever for this event,” insists Connie Wiggins, Executive Director for Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful. “Together, we can bring about lasting change in an effort to make Gwinnett the best place to live, work, and play. This year, we are tying in a very special promotion that we hope to carry out throughout the remainder of 2014 – the I Pledge Campaign. Individuals, businesses and organizations are encouraged to partner with Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful by taking the Pledge to become environmental stewards who endeavor to ‘live green’ every day by changing their habits and practices at home, school, work and play. Not just during the course of the Challenge, but all year long, year-after-year. Think in terms of it this way – the Great American Challenge serves as a wonderful 5K, but the Pledge represents the marathon. In return, some of our partners may receive a banner to hang up at their school or place of business, and everyone who takes the Pledge will receive a social badge to display with pride on their social media pages – letting their fans know that they ‘took the pledge’ and hopefully encouraging them to do the same.” To become involved in the Great American Cleanup – Gwinnett Challenge, interested parties are encouraged to visit the Great American Challenge page on the Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful website (www.gwinnettcb.org/ Great American Cleanup activities can include anything from: • adopting a road • picking up litter and illegal signs • renovating school and community playgrounds • beautifying roadways • collecting and donating gently used clothing and shoes • reducing, reusing, recycling • cleaning up rivers, lakes , and streams • painting out graffiti vandalism • collecting electronics and cell phones for recycling • planting trees • becoming a Green and Healthy School · and so much more Once the Great American Challenge has come to a close, Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful will organize additional beautification projects, recycling events, and environmental education opportunities throughout the year.
