Mark Swingle 7/22/2022 8:35 PMIn Buena Vista Colorado picking up plastic waste at more than 10,000 feet! Disappointed that they do not have recycling available anywhere, but over all a very clean community. Very fun to share the PFJ message throughout my travels. Cheers to the team - great work to all!! -

Mark Swingle 7/12/2022 4:22 AMHope everyone is having a great PFJ! The July 4th parade in my neighborhood has devolved into a massive water balloon battle - mostly by the adults! The result is thousands of pieces of burst balloons everywhere! Some of the participants help with cleanup, but only a small percentage. The plus side for me is that I have plenty of opportunities to pick up pieces every day to fulfill one of my PFJ challenges! Keep up the great work by the Team! Cheers -
Mark Swingle 7/01/2022 12:45 PMFirst day of PFJ and excited to be checking in and starting off the month! If any of you team members would like to support a plastic bag fee in Virginia Beach to reduce single-use plastic bags, please attend the City Council meeting on July 5 at 6 pm and support the issue. You can sign up to speak in support, just show up to show support (your presence would be great!), and/or send an email message to City Council. Let's get this important legislation in support of sustainability initiated in Virginia Beach! Cheers All -
