1 KTMB Focus on Sparks presented March 23, 2015

2 Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful Private nonprofit celebrating 25 years of providing hands-on community solutions Our focus is education about economic and health benefits of a clean community Cleanups are great, but education makes for lasting change

3 Making a difference is easy Recycle when possible, but reduce and reuse always! Is there an option with less packaging? That s not packaged in plastic? Take reusable (washable!) bags every time not just to the grocery store. Plastic bags blow around, getting stuck in trees, killing wildlife and clogging waterways. Don t over water your lawn and use waterconscious landscaping.

4 What can I do? How often have you heard: I don t see a trash can. It s only a little trash. I m only one person; my trash won t make a difference. Change starts with you.

5 Value of Recreation The Truckee Meadows offers virtually every recreational opportunity Recreation brings tourism, and provides free, healthy opportunities for residents Source: Journal of Sustainable Real Estate, GreenSpace Alliance Proximity raises home values 20% or more Truckee River provides fresh drinking water

6 Cost to community/business Litter costs us an estimated $11.5 billion annually. Businesses pay $9 billion of that cost. Litter decreases property values 7%. Source: Keep America Beautiful

7 Cost to community health Trash dropped in the Truckee River our drinking water clogs drains, can poison or damage wildlife and recreators. Lawn runoff fertilizer, pesticide, dog waste all washes down storm drains into the Truckee River.

8 We all end up paying Lower property values. Littering is physical graffiti. Dumping and litter deter visitors and new business. Dumping and litter lower our quality of life and are community health hazards. Source: Journal of Sustainable Real Estate, GreenSpace Alliance

9 Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful We provide tools for all kinds of cleanups Roadside Open Space Park River Neighborhood Workplace
