Build it. You Can...
This is the communicative “call to action” portion of implementation. You Can is a message to the community that provides opportunities for individuals to get involved with ways to make the vision real.
Organize a neighborhood clean-up of empty lots, parks and waterways. Dispose of trash and hazardous waste responsibly and learn guidelines. Visit the Recreational Fishing Alliance, Sierra Club, or Garden Clubs. Have green conversations with friends and neighbors. Advocate for green policies at City Council meetings. Carpool and use public transportation. Learn about the Riverkeeper and take a boat ride on the St. Johns River. Take re-useable bags to the grocery store. Be an avid recycler. Refuse to litter or allow others around you to litter.
I Will...
