Litter. It Costs You.
The State of Georgia launched the Litter. It Costs You. campaign in August 2006. An integrated and comprehensive approach to stopping litter, the campaign encompasses education, eradication and enforcement. The campaign leverages the efforts of state agencies, city and county governments, and volunteer organizations to engage the public and effect change. Resources include an interactive and comprehensive website, an online toolkit and an education component to reach children. Challenge programs have also been created for adults and youth. For more information, please visit litteritcostsyou.org.

Georgia Urban Forest Council
Keep Georgia Beautiful is excited to be working with the Georgia Urban Forest Council. The GUFC is a coalition of government and nonprofit groups dedicated to protecting and improving Georgia's Urban Forests. The urban forest includes all trees, vegetation, watersheds and wildlife in our community. Tree-lined roadways, open green spaces, undeveloped forests, parks and private and commercial lands are all part of the urban forest. To find out more about urban forestry, the benefits of trees, and how you can help protect the urban forest visit the Forest Council's website, www.GUFC.org.Earth's 911
