 Now summer is in full swing, I have been riding my bike more lately in the Hinesburg - Richmond area. While taking in all the beauty that the area offers, it is hard not to notice the garbage that is scattered along the road side.
What is going through someone's head when they are chucking garbage out their car window? We may never know that answer, but I was wondering if our towns should consider doing another Green-up day.
I and thousands of folks across Vermont turned out to clean up our roads in May during the annual Green-Up Day. Well maybe once time isn't enough and since tourism is one of the bigger revenue streams our state has, I think it is important to keep Vermont looking nice.
I would volunteer for another Green-Up Day, would you?

I do not know much about that type of endeavor. Are there people to talk with, is it completely grass-roots, or is it something else entirely?
My biggest fear is apathy. Even for the events in the Green, the park, the river, you name it. People are not becomming as engaged in the system as they once were.
So how would something like this come about?
