#PRIDESpring Cleanup #TrashtagChallengePRIDE

April is PRIDE Spring Cleanup Month across southern and eastern Kentucky. Since the first Spring Cleanup in 1998, 440,408 people have volunteered with PRIDE to pick up litter and make our region look its best.

The theme for the 2019 PRIDE Spring Cleanup is “Together We Can!” Together, we can:

• Show our appreciation for the beautiful views and fun outdoor recreation spots that bless southern and eastern Kentucky.
• Make our incredible landscape look its best to welcome tourists — who are so important to our local economy.
• Enjoy the good company of our friends and family as we volunteer side by side.
• Soak in the warm weather and spring scenery after a long winter.
• Inspire others to dispose of trash properly. (Research has shown that litter is the result of individual behavior and once litter is on the ground, it attracts more litter. A clean community can discourage littering and improve community appearance and quality of life.)
• Prove we are proud to call this region our home!
• #Volunteer
• #MakeADifference
