Earth Day: Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful Kicks-off National Great American Cleanup
|
|
Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful was proud to sponsor the Great American Cleanup National Kickoff in Philadelphia, PA along with Keep America Beautiful, Keep Philadelphia Beautiful, and the City of Philadelphia. This national event, held April 1st and 2nd, highlighted the Philly Spring Cleanup, which in 2008 set the record for the largest one-day cleanup in American history.
Mayor Michael Nutter, Deputy Mayor Michael DiBeradinis, Keep America Beautiful President Matthew McKenna, Shannon Reiter, President, Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, and 2011 Miss America Teresa Scanlan were among those on hand to help start the event.
The Great American Cleanup, whose theme is “Green Starts Here”, is a rallying call that encourages civic leaders and volunteer groups to begin creating sustainable communities through their efforts as volunteers, and through their daily choices and actions.
Several of the nearly 250 volunteer events around Philadelphia on Saturday were showcased during the event. One of the signature events was a cleanup done by the Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful affiliate Keep Royal Gardens Beautiful.
