Take Part in Pledge-a-Palooza for a Chance to Win Prizes and Save the Planet

As part of its “Take
the Pledge” campaign for 2014, Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful is kicking off
Pledge-a-Palooza to inspire Gwinnettians to take action (and photos) in order
to keep their part of the planet clean and beautiful. Going on now through July
1, 2014, Pledge-a-Palooza consists of three easy steps in order to be
considered for one of 20 prizes of $100 each:



  1. Take the Pledge:  Participants are asked to visit www.GwinnettCB.org in order to Take the
    Pledge and be registered in the non-profit’s system. Taking the Pledge means
    that the “pledgee” is committed to being an environmental steward for Gwinnett
    County… caring for the land, water and endeavoring to “live green” every day by
    changing certain habits and practices at home, school, work and play. In the
    event that they’re already registered in the system for Taking the Pledge
    during recent months, the participant is ready to move on to step 2.
  2. Take Part in a Planet-Friendly Activity:  Participants are asked to take part in a
    planet-friendly activity that is listed on the Take the Pledge page, including:
    Put Litter in its Place, Recycle More, Wipeout Grafitti, Beautify Your Space,
    Grow Green, Save Our Streams, Reduce and Reuse, Green Up the Neighborhood and
    more. They will need to take photos of their participation as part of their
    submission for consideration for a prize.
  3. Submit
    Your Pledge-a-Palooza Project and Pictures:

    Participants are asked to send a brief summary of their project, names of fellow
    participants or company/organization name, and pictures of their participation
    in submitted project to gwinnettcb@gwinnettcb.org
    by 5 p.m. on July 1, 2014. All submissions received by close of business on
    Tuesday, July 1 will be considered for one of 20 prizes of $100 each. Winners
    will be selected at random from submissions received and will be announced the
    week of July 7, 2014. Photos may be published.
Good Luck!!
