Duarte Pledges to Promote Green Practices
as Part of Regional Clean LA Campaign
DUARTE, CA (May 11, 2011) – On May 10th the Duarte City Council adopted a proclamation pledging to promote a cleaner, safer, and healthier environment for its residents. The pledge is part of a joint campaign with numerous cities and the County of Los Angeles to promote green practices throughout the region.
The purpose of this pledge is to get people thinking about how we impact the environment at home, school, work, and in our communities and making commitments to change our everyday habits to lessen these impacts. This means doing everything possible to reduce, reuse, recycle and rethink on a regular basis.
Duarte residents can show support for their community and environment by visiting www.CleanLA.com and joining other residents throughout the County of Los Angeles who have taken the pledge. The site is a free resource to residents and is intended to raise awareness and increase sustainability for future generations.
Through this pledge, Los Angeles County strives to encourage and bring together the efforts of residents, community leaders, businesses, nonprofit organizations and schools in protecting and conserving our natural resources and bringing about a cleaner, safer, and healthier environment. The programs and resources available to all residents through the Clean LA website to help realize these goals include waste reduction programs, education on resource conservation and recycling, safe hazardous waste disposal, and much more.
As a part of this campaign, each resident who takes the pledge will be entered into a free drawing to win tickets for the upcoming May 15 Los Angeles Dodgers game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
