WUN Trash Clean Up a Success!

WUN great neighborhoodYesterday was the West University Trash Clean Up. About twenty five community members and students got together to pick up litter. Together, after 2 or so hours of clean up, we collected about 2 pick-up truck beds full of trash! Through this event we helped our environment, we connected students and the West University Neighbors, and we hopefully made me folks realize how nice West University would look with less trash.

This event was part of the University of Oregon’s celebration of Earth Week. This event was more specifically part of the U of O’s Taking it to the Streets, a day for neighborhood community service. Thanks to all the folks at U of O who made this possible: the campus programs that donated trash bags and gloves, the folks working in Community Relations, the students involved with CommUniversity, and of course the students who volunteered! Also a thank you to Marcy and Paul Cauthorn of the Amazon neighborhood who helped with supplies and picking up trash! And of course thank you to the businesses to who donated their dumpsters for disposing of trash, Subway for great lunch, and the Sub Shop for frozen yogurt coupons! As a board member, I would personally also like to thank my fellow board members for supporting this event and helping make it a success. You guys rock! Thank you to anyone else who I may have mistakenly missed!

Enjoy Earth Day, and go out and pick up some trash!
