4th Annual Philly Spring Cleanup

Philadelphia is a great city. I'm always bragging to new visitors about the city's wealth of history, culture, museums, restaurants, and parks. Then I prepare them for the shock of how dirty and littered Philly is.

I love you Philly, but there's a reason you're called Philthy Philly.

So, to help but a shine on Philly, I encourage you all to take part in the 4th Annual Philly Spring Cleanup this Saturday, April 2, from 9am – 2pm. All you have to do is go online and sign up for a project you'd like to take part in. There are many projects all over the city, so finding a convenient one should be easy.

Last year, Philly Spring Cleanup resulted in 1,340,000 pounds of trash collected. ZOMG!

Then, after you're done on Saturday, I'd like to challenge y'all to *every day* pick up the random pieces of trash in front of your house, apartment, and business that float in from who knows where. A little bit every day will help a lot.

Keep up the sweep up!
