Cleaning up Tucson with a 12-minute makeover
Posted by sccadmin on Thursday, January 14th, 2010.TUCSON – Tucson officials asked for help and city residents answered by taking 12 minutes out of their day to give our city a makeover.
For just 12-minutes, Tucsonans looked around their homes and businesses and clean them up.
Pam Cornell with the Sunnyside School District is fitting the quick task into her tight schedule.
Pam said, “I have a school board meeting tonight as well, so I’m not in the attire for cleaning but I wanted to be a part of this.”
Juan Corella and his crew are with Southwest Conservation Corps. They’re also chipping in, and even found a football while picking up debris.
“It’s good recycling, so we’ll keep this for our crew and just use it out in the field when we have down time,” Juan said.
Greg Davila is contributing just outside his home. “We took time off and started cleaning our little area, a couple of minutes and it’s done,” Davila said.
12 minutes of cleaning plus multiple communities working together equals a cleaner city.
Greg said, “It would be nice if more people come out and do a little bit of there part in cleaning up the neighborhood.”
The city plans on doing this event again next year on January 12, 2011.
