GEORGIA! Keep It Green and Clean

Phase One of the GEORGIA! Keep It Green and Clean anti-litter campaign was a yearlong, statewide media blitz in cooperation with the Georgia Association of Broadcasters.

The second phase of this campaign was the production of a youth environmental education video with an anti-litter message targeting 8-10 year olds. The purpose of this video is to make students aware of litter and its consequences, instilling in them the value of reducing litter in Georgia and how they can help make Georgia a more beautiful state. The video has been distributed to every public, private and military elementary school in the State of Georgia, all at no cost to the school systems.

In addition, each school received a workbook that can be reproduced to reinforce the litter lesson. The eight-page workbook, designed with its young audience in mind, features eye-catching graphics and reader-friendly typography, providing hands-on activities and suggestions for participating in fun anti-litter solutions. The State Board of Education agrees that the workbook complies with their Quality Core Curriculum Standards and is age appropriate for 8-10 year olds. Our youth will enjoy and remember this video and workbook, and they'll take away with them the knowledge of how and why littering is such a destructive force. Further, they'll gain the motivation to help solve the littering problem. Our hope is that children will prevent their parents from being litterbugs!

Please promote this anti-litter video to your garden club and encourage club members to use the video to spread the Garden Club of Georgia's anti-litter message and to encourage community clubs (Rotary, Business Professional Women, etc.) and youth clubs (Scouts, Junior Garden Clubs, etc.) to participate in anti-litter activities. A cleaner Georgia is always on our minds. The video may be checked out from Headquarters. There is no rental fee, just pay shipping and insurance. Call 706-227-5369 to make arrangements.
