Green Up Vermont sets world record
WATERBURY, Vt. (WCAX) – Green Up Vermont is now a world record holder.
For Green Up Day this year, the organization attempted and achieved the Guinness World Record title for most pledges received in 24 hours.
The team needed a minimum of 5,000 pledges to achieve their goal; they got more than 6,800.
The organization hopes this achievement can keep the momentum going for future generations to green up Vermont.
“So that was a sort of additional prompt and motivator to get our youth outside on Green Up Day and also be thinking about it on a year-round basis, that’s really what Green Up wants to do, is make it a year-round state of mind for all Vermonters,” said Parker Riehle, the president of the Green Up Vermont board.
The group saw a 33% increase in statewide volunteers this year. They cleaned up more than 1.3 million pounds of trash from public spaces.
