Roanoke's Green Initiative
I just came across this website from a recent City of Roanoke press release.
Clean and Green is the City's effort - spurred on by Councilwoman Gwen Mason's press conference last year in which the problem of litter (particularly cigarette butts) was a primary concern - to promote a cleaner, healthier, more sustainable valley:
As part of the campaign, we’re challenging businesses, civic organizations, and neighborhoods to come together and get involved in cleaning up their properties and protecting our environment. Additionally, expectations and goals for the appearance and condition of our community will be adopted with the intent that will become part of our standards as a city.
I was pleased to see Clean Commute Day in the sidebar!
