This is a great idea. One I think that should be done each month not just once a year.
Tomorrow, January 12, 2010, has been designated as the day for the 12 minute makeover to take place at 12 Noon. Get it, 12 minutes at 12 o’clock on the 12th.
The original idea came from Flagstaff. They have been doing it for the past 2 years. But I think we could use a 12 minute makeover on the 12th of each month at noon.
How We Participate in the 12 Minute Makeover
It isn’t complicated and there is no sign-up sheet or organizer to report to. Here is what you do.
At Noon Tomorrow, you grab a garbage bag and some gloves, (and one of those pick stuff up sticks if you have one) and you go outside and pickup litter. Make the area around you prettier, cleaner, safer. Put the garbage bag in the trash and tell everyone you know you took part in the Tucson 12 minute makeover.
Here is the Public Safety Announcement
Use caution near public streets, limit crossing, face traffic, wear a safety vest (if you have one) or at least bright colored clothing. Avoid storm drains and culverts. Don’t trespass. Be careful around construction debris, insects, reptiles, steep slopes and sharp rocks. Do not pickup medical waste, hazardous materials or dead animals. Supervise your children. Wear a hat, gloves, closed toed shoes and sunscreen, and drink water frequently, Recycle.
