Litter Control

I'm committed to having a world that works for everyone. Westpointe is probably one of the most diverse (religiously, ethnically, etc.) districts in the state. Because many of our residents are new to this country, they (or their parents and grandparents) weren't around when Lady Bird Johnson did her "Keep America Beautiful Campaign". So, we're doing a mini-version in our area. It's called, "Lift us Up, Don't Throw it Down, Put Litter in its Place".

It's a saturation campaign, with yard signs, posters in the schools and businesses, additional garbage cans on Redwood Road and stickers on private garbage cans saying, "Thanks for your litter, For lifting us Up." Rep Neuenschwander gave me the contacts, before he left on vacation, to make much of this possible. And I want to tell him that the Rose Park Stake and the Rose Park North Stake will "Adopt a Highway" and will handle the litter clean-up of Redwood Road on a monthly basis. Thank you, Paul.
