This resolution recognizes Keep Tennessee Beautiful and commemorates the twenty-sixth annual Great American Cleanup, a grassroots spring-cleaning initiative taking place from March 1 to June 22, 2025. The resolution highlights the significant environmental impact of the event, noting that in 2024, volunteers created 15,000 opportunities, picked up millions of pounds of litter, and cleaned over 100,000 acres of public spaces, roadways, and shorelines. Keep Tennessee Beautiful, the state-level affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, is praised for its role in leading the state's participation, serving as a resource for litter prevention, community greening, and recycling education. The organization is housed at the University of Memphis and is funded by the Tennessee Department of Transportation. The resolution emphasizes the initiative's broader social benefits, including promoting teamwork, community engagement, and instilling civic pride. By passing this resolution, the Tennessee General Assembly officially acknowledges and expresses gratitude to all volunteers and participants involved in the Great American Cleanup.
