Keep the Community CLEAN

“a cleaner community can help people feel better about where they live and may lead to people treating each other better”.

Community service - is donated service or activity that is performed by someone or a group of people for the benefit of the public or its institutions. - reduces the chances of suicidal actions or questionable behavior in children, teens or young adults. - increases chances of getting into important colleges and jobs. 

Tips Picking up plastic bags, bottles (plastic and glass) and the cans in your community. The bags can be used in the car as a trash bag, to clean up animal poop or to carry items places later on. Recycle products at home including you mixed paper like paper bags and boxes from the fast food joint (as long as they aren't dripping with condiments and leftover toppings.)

Use signage to get you point across. Ask entities in your community to practice recycling and put recycling bins in their stores or in the area. Community partnerships can strengthen the ties you. Buy a trash can, line your trash can and cover your trash can. Many people will have a trash can and not line it with a durable trash bag, leading to residue from the trash and more reasons for cats and other animals to get into them.

Cleanliness is the cornerstone of discipline and the trademark of success. - Wes Fessler
