SARATOGA SPRINGS — Team up with local non-profit Sustainable Saratoga on Saturday, April 23, to clean up neighborhoods, streets and trails in celebration of Earth Day.
“We’re seeing extra plastic pollution and pandemic-related litter this year – things like masks and gloves – littering our streets and sidewalks,” said Whitney Davis, Sustainable Saratoga’s Zero Waste committee chair. “This year we are excited to do an in-person activity that reduces the impact of litter on the environment and raises awareness about the chronic problem of litter pollution in our local communities.”
This will be Sustainable Saratoga’s second annual clean-up event, where volunteers can choose to meet at a location organized by Sustainable Saratoga, or independently clean up litter in an area of their choice. Last year, more than 100 participants pitched in, which resulted in more than 200 bags of garbage being removed from the environment.
Whether you plan to meet up with Sustainable Saratoga or do it on your own, register in advance (forms.gle/JwFfGmegQ7pBUP9Y8) in order to help track the collective impact of that weekend.
