Over
the past year, Fall
River Park Advocate volunteer began collaborating with Durfee
High School on a campaign to address the need to reduce litter
throughout the city. The first part of a two-part campaign was rolled out
on February 29, 2012 at the High School when a logo designed by students
was unveiled. Junior Brandan Miller came up with the winning logo and was
applauded for producing a design that will be used throughout the city.
The second part of the campaign will involve a media campaign. "This
campaign is not just about litter, it is about education and the effects
of litter pertaining to health, environment and economic development.
Students will learn about how litter happens, facts about litter, laws and
enforcement, and ultimately how to reduce litter in our city," said
City Councilor Dave Dennis. Click
