Consider Joining, Supporting Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful
Photo

One piece of litter thrown out of a car window doesn’t seem consequential to the environment. But combined with every discarded gum wrapper, take-out bag, or soda can, pretty soon the effect on our natural world and local communities is significant. We hope you will consider being a part of positive change today.

            Consider this: Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful has identified 5,386 dumpsites with an estimated 16,367 tons of trash. That is more than 32 million pounds of litter and debris degrading our watersheds and impacting our communities. It almost seems overwhelming, however, as each of those individual tires rolled down a hillside adds up, so do individual contributions.
            Now you can be a part of the new “I Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful” annual membership campaign!  You may have received a letter in the mail about this new campaign recently (and if your check is already in the mail, thank you!).
            Your contribution, combined with those from people just like you, could help our efforts to clean and beautify communities and reduce the harmful influence of litter and illegal dumping. You’ve helped to empower us in the past through your volunteer efforts and we’re hoping you will consider contributing today.  Use this link to join.
            For your contribution, we’ll send you an “I Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful” window decal to acknowledge your support. You’ll also receive our regular newsletters, annual report and an invitation to vote for incoming Directors at our annual meeting. 
            First and foremost, your membership dollars will allow us to continue and even expand our programming efforts promoting our core focus areas of Prevent It! Clean It! and Keep It! across Pennsylvania.
            Our collective efforts resulted in 6,668,400 pounds of trash collected by more than 155,000 volunteers during this year’s Great American Clean-Up alone!  Your support will allow us to continue these activities as we work towards our vision of a clean and beautiful Pennsylvania.
            For more information, visit the Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful website.
