Keep it up, Hampton Roads! For another amazing year, the Hampton Roads Great American Cleanup broke records for volunteer turnout and pounds of litter collected. 🏆 Here’s how it breaks out:

😁 An astounding 3,000+ volunteers collaborated in March/April
👍 You picked up 4,761 bags of litter.
😳 You cleared 63 tons of litter from our public spaces. (Last year, you removed about 47 tons!)

Fantastic work!

But you don’t have to wait for a special event to clean things up. You can Team Up 2 Clean Up anytime you like!

If you’re someone who loves winter, you’re in luck… Happy Wintertime! It officially begins with the Winter Solstice. And that means today, in terms of daylight, you’ll enjoy the shortest day and the longest night of the year.

But it also means that after today, the days will be getting longer and longer, and we can all look forward to the emergence of spring… And sunshine… And warmth…

What do YOU love about winter?
