This year’s Green Up Day has been declared a success. Green Up Vermont says between 15,000 and 20,000 volunteers
fanned out across the state on Saturday to pick up trash along roadsides and in
public spaces.
Today is Earth Day, and an
anniversary of sorts, as the first Earth Day was celebrated 40 years ago. It was also 40 years ago that
Vermonters ventured out into their various communities to pick up trash and Green Up the state.
