I’m so glad to hear that the Pomfret Green Team is organizing a town-wide trash pick up. We need it. I won’t be able to participate as I’m helping to organize a trash clean up in Vermont that weekend, so I decided to do my part and clean up a half mile stretch of Route 244.

When I did this yesterday I picked up seventeen pounds of garbage and twenty pounds of recyclables including $2.70 cents worth of redeemable cans and bottles. In total, there were four full garbage bags. Again, this is from only a half mile stretch of Route 244. I had cleaned the same stretch of road just last fall.

I hope that everyone that is able to participate does so, it is good for the Earth, your town and your body.
