“We treat this planet as if we had a spare.” This quote is just part of the motivation that I needed to organize Walking GREEN. The purpose of Walking GREEN is to gather fellow "GREEN Walkers" who will walk by my side to clean-up our neighborhoods, roads, woodlands, and waterways.
Become a GREEN Walker!
Join Me! I encourage each of you to become a GREEN Walker. All you need is the attitude to make a difference!
Please follow me and Walking GREEN from the blog pages to the outdoors. Walking GREEN events will be posted on my blog, so please visit this page frequently.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
SAFETY FIRST! This event will take place along the sides of Rt. 3 & in the median; however, the median is extremely wide. All children must be supervised by an adult. Walking GREEN is not responsible for your safety. Each individual is responsible for their own actions.
DISPOSAL & RECYCLING-Each GREEN Walker is responsible for the trash they collect during a Walking GREEN event and will be trusted to dispose or recycle it appropriately, whether that be at home, county dump or recycling area. We must ALL do our part!
Thank you!
