Walking the Talk!

A fellow concerned citizen emailed me this video this morning. Take a look -

Adopt YOUR Block, our volunteer litter-abatement group now numbers close to 700 Huntington residents who have committed to "walking the talk" by keeping the block on which they live free of cigarette butts and litter.

If you are ready to walk, call me and I will deliver you a "litter-stick", which will allow you to pick up everything from cigarette butts to large bottles without bending over or touching them. I even have plastic bags for folks who really can't afford to buy them. We ask that you try to pick up your block one time per week. Just tie up your plastic bag and put it out with your weekly household trash. The city crews will gladly pick it up.

Litter begets litter, so try to pick up once per week. But remember, all household trash and litter must be tied up, and it should not weight more than 40-pounds.

Help us walk the talk by assisting us in our efforts to keep all of Cabell County's neighborhoods shining!

Do you know of any neighborhoods that need assistance with their litter problem?

If you wish to post this information, or to make any other comments you wish, just click on "Post Comments" on the right - located immediately below this post. I'll personally check out the situation in any neighborhood and assist the residents in establishing a simple plan to keep each block in a clean and orderly condition.

Let's walk the talk!
