Utah Bloggers - How about a Google Cleanup Party?
I just wrote about how Google launched a new project called International Cleanup Weekend.They want local communities to clean up their communities and map it on Google Maps. I’d like to get a group of people to take on projects like cleaning up the Provo River. Or, we could climb a mountain and bring trash bags to pick up things on the way back down (Phil 801 you could coordinate that one).
There are projects like this going on all over the world on October 13th and 14th.
How it works:
- Choose a spot to clean up (submit in comments)
- Add the place to Google Maps
- Everyone meet Saturday morning October 13, with gloves, trash bags, and if needed a truck to haul off the garbage
For two years I was a community organizer. One year of that was through Americorps who are partnering with Google to do this. As I blogged about in a soon-to-be-published post on Marketing Pilgrim this is a good idea for businesses to get involved in. Serve employees breakfast, get the bags and everything and send out a press release on how cool you are to be involved in something so progressive. You can use Google in the headline.

Sounds like a great project. Unfortunately I wasn’t made aware of it until now. I would of posted a blurb on http://beturtle.com
