Three years ago, Pierre Mayor Laurie Gill implemented the “Go Green and Clean” campaign, a call to service campaign asking citizens and organizations to volunteer a few hours of time to help clean up the community. And this year’s committee is excited to announce the campaign is bigger than ever with a whole week of different cleanup activities! “Earth Awareness Week” kicks off on Sunday, April 21st and ends with the Community Wide Cleanup on Saturday, April 27th.

GO GREEN & CLEAN BUSINESS CONTEST

This year’s Go Green and Clean committee is giving businesses a chance to be named the Go Green & Clean Business of Spring and a free lunch for the office just by promoting your own efforts to go green during Earth Awareness Week!

Some ideas are: having sales on landscaping, gardening, or energy efficient items at your business, or simply setting up a special display of those items in your store; using advertising to promote your go green efforts through radio, newspaper, Facebook page, etc; participating in the business clean-up day on Tuesday, April 23rd; and putting a team together for the community wide cleanup day on Saturday, April 27th!

In addition to a free office lunch, the chosen business will receive a plaque from the City and be recognized by Mayor Laurie Gill in front of the City Commission. They will also be featured in local media outlets. Winner will be announced on Monday, April 29th.

Register your business in the contest today!

Deadline to enter is Wednesday, April 17th. Office lunch provided for up to 10 employees.
