Fri, 11/09/2012 Since serving at Yosemite National Park in 2006, SCA alumnus Jeff Chen rehas come a long way – 3,500 miles, to be exact.
Simultaneously troubled and inspired by the trailside trash he saw at Yosemite, Jeff launched Pick Up America, the nation's first coast-to-coast roadside litter collection campaign, and this Saturday Jeff and his fellow “Pick Up Artists” will conclude their two-year quest in San Francisco [1].
SCA congratulates Pick Up America for raising litter awareness and removing 190,000 pounds of debris from the nation’s roadways. And SCA volunteers will be there Saturday for the filthy finale [1]!
