Our Mission

Launch a unified region-wide litter reduction and beautification initiative led by key stakeholders who create a united anti-litter campaign that changes people’s behavior such that people stop littering and communities plant numerous trees and flowers throughout the region. In order to support this effort, we plan to start by implementing litter reduction and beautification courses in each Cleveland Metropolitan School District school to engage, inspire and empower our young students to care for the environment and foster pride for decades to come

Our Vision

Our Vision We envision a region significantly free of litter. People no longer litter. They dispose of it properly. A region where there is an abundance of beautiful flowers and trees that are visible throughout the region. Waterways are clean and our ecosystems are healthy and thriving!

"I have been inspired by these two sisters, Pam and Nancy, this project and our like-minded passion for litter free environments, beautification projects and the thriving union created by educating youth to value themselves, their community and the planet!"
