Trash Free Potomac Watershed

Alice Ferguson Foundation - Non-Profit - trashfree.org

AFF's Trash Free Potomac Watershed Initiative seeks a Trash Free Potomac by 2013. A public education campaign is in-development to grab the attention of litterers and inspire them to change their behavior. Social marketing indicates that admitted litters of all ages and demographics respond to concerns about health, protecting their children, and cleanliness. Social marketing is essential to cost-effectively reaching the Potomac River Watershed's 6 million residents and important to the campaign's success, especially with teenage and young adult litters. The Initiative needs experts like Free Range to help create an anti-litter video capable of going viral.

        A little more bending at the waist (waste) for everyone and we would have healtier folks and a cleaner environment.

        We've been doing this for several years here at the mouth of the Potomac River. It's a great campaign that nets more than just a trash-free river. We use the clean up opportunity to connect people to the river itself and to increase knowledge of the relationship between humans and nature.

        AFF can make it happen! Getting people to think about the trash floating around our neighborhoods, and maybe they'll start using fewer resources and putting trash and recycling where it belongs.

        I have been helping with the shoreline cleanups for a number of years in southern Fairfax County. It is making a difference. Thanks for the initiative!

        Thank you for working on a new littering campaign. It's really gotten out of hand and we need to rebuild a litter-free culture in DC!
