It started as a state event and is now run by a non-profit. Check them out and support them at [greenupvermont.org](greenupvermont.org). + +I’d like to take this concept worldwide. To that end, I’ve just purchased [greenupday.org](greenupday.org). This is not affiliated with [Green Up Vermont](greenupvermont.org) in any way except for the name and idea. If you have money to give, give it to them. + +This website will take some small effort to set up, but I’m hoping to spark some grassroots greening up. + +Plan for the first Saturday in May. Use hashtag #greenupday to spread the word on social media. + +More to come. Let’s get to work.
