A clean Rockland is a beautiful Rockland

It’s time for the Great American Cleanup! (Or, in my “fun with commas” segment, Great American, clean up! See? Punctuation does matter!)
Keep Rockland Beautiful sponsors litter cleanups starting tomorrow through next Sunday. What better way to celebrate Earth Day and the county’s natural beauty than to grab a bag, gloves and a “grabber” and get rid of the litter that dots roadways, gutters, streams and parking lots.
Haven’t registered but still want to join a cleanup? Go here. Or, you can pick up the trash in your neighborhood. It gets there one piece at a time (mostly) so we can all get rid of it the same way.
GRAPHIC: Amelia Marino created this design. The ninth grader at Pearl River High School won KRB’s first annual t-shirt design contest for high school students.

Thanks Nancy,after spending the late winter fundraising for the cleanup (gotta buy shirts, bags, grabbers, ads, banners, etc etc!!), I have been focused on recruiting and serving volunteers, and there are a LOT of them. Thanks also to Laura Incalcatera for all her great environmental reporting—the woman deserves an award!
