Look Out for Litter

On my daily walk, I often muse…if everyone would pick up just one piece of litter each day, our community would be a cleaner, greener place. In the spirit of developing this habit in our youngest citizens (15 and under)–Join the Township for our 3^rd annual litter scavenger hunt— Look Out for Litter Easy as 1-2-3. Besides being a fun project and contributing to our community, everyone who completes a log will earn a gift certificate for a summer treat!

Did You Know? Eighty percent of litter found in our oceans traveled from land via creeks, bayous and rivers! Seemingly insignificant, micro-litter and cigarette butts become a big problem when they are concentrated in our waterways.

Joining the fight against litter in our community is
