Check out this great, short article about a new way to recycle chewing gum that’s been developed in the UK!
“Passersby can simply dump any unwanted chewing gum into the bright pink gumdrop-like receptacles that have been installed across the city of London.”
What do you think of this contraption? We think it’s a brilliant idea and should get some ASAP to #KeepSavannahClean!
Today is Giving Tuesday!
#GivingTuesday connects diverse groups of individuals, communities and organizations around the world for one common purpose: to celebrate and encourage giving.
Giving Tuesday harnesses the potential of social media and the generosity of people around the world to bring about real change in their communities; it provides a platform for them to encourage the donation of time, resources and talents to address local challenges. It also brings together the collective power of a unique blend of partners— nonprofits, civic organizations, businesses and corporations, as well as families and individuals—to encourage and amplify small acts of kindness.
As a global movement, Giving Tuesday unites countries around the world by sharing our capacity to care for and empower one another.
So what are YOU waiting for? Let’s join up with our fellow #LitterCrew members and help #KeepSavannahClean!
Check out this comical take from The Simpsons on roadway litterbugs with guest star Bette Midler! This video about sums up our opinion on roadway litterbugs.
If only Bette could help us in Savannah! What do you think?

“Volunteering ” even if it’s just picking up litter or walking an elderly neighbor’s dog ” would take the ‘black’ out of Black Friday. You’ll not only be bypassing the madness of consumerism-on-steroids, but you’ll be brightening the world for those around you.”
Check out this little blog article about taking the “Black” stories of people being crazy on Black Friday and replacing it with doing good in the community. We think this writer has some great suggestions on how to make Black Friday a much lighter holiday tradition than the typical stories of people fighting over products.
