Evesham Clean Communities Coordinator Debbie Pease has received the “Municipal Coordinator” Award from the New Jersey Clean Communities Council (NJCCC).
The Evesham Clean Communities Program regularly reduces litter in order to protect local lands and waterways, helping ensure Evesham remains a desirable place to live and work. Recently, Pease directed 25 volunteer groups that received grant funds for cleaning up township highways and roadways. The grant funds also support educational programs for Evesham elementary students.
“These programs empower our next generation, instilling practical lifelong lessons and letting them know that they can affect change,” Pease said. “Each one us can help prevent trash and litter in public places daily, just by using trash and recycling receptacles. Please do your share to help!”
The Municipal Coordinator Award is presented to an individual who has developed and implemented a comprehensive municipal litter abatement program and who demonstrates ongoing support of the NJCCC.
“Debbie’s passion for the environment translates through her work,” said NJCCC Executive Director Sandy Huber. “She is constantly coming up with innovative ways to ensure Evesham residents, both young and old, are well informed about local environmental issues and how they can help.”
NJCCC is a comprehensive, statewide litter-abatement program that has served New Jersey residents and visitors for more than 25 years. Learn more at njclean.org.
