From Gwen Baldwin, Cobb County Government Keep Cobb Beautiful:

The Clean Community Challenge - Litter It Costs You!

You can be involved with the largest litter prevention and beautification effort ever. Join two million volunteers across the country and help clean up your community! The Great American Cleanup, March 1 - May 31, is an annual, nationwide, community improvement campaign started by Keep America Beautiful in 1999. Involving an estimated 2.8 million volunteers and attendees, these hardworking volunteers donated more than 7.7 million hours in 2007 to clean, beautify, and improve more than 17,000 communities during more than 30,000 events in all 50 states and beyond.

Keep Cobb Beautiful challenges Cobb County Schools to get involved. Plan a cleanup, recycling event or beautification project and let KCB give you your supplies. If you register and report your program, your school could receive a cash prize to continue your environmental programs! Last year, our winning schools were Lewis and Shallowford Falls Elementary, Dickerson Middle, Pebblebrook and Harrison High Schools. Congratulations! Who will take home the prize this year?
