Keep Georgia Beautiful has unveiled a special recycling-themed license plate, new logo and identity/branding initiative yesterday in celebration of its 30th anniversary. “We would not be celebrating Keep Georgia Beautiful’s 30th anniversary if Keep America Beautiful had not approached Governor George Busbee back in 1978 and suggested the establishment of the first Keep America Beautiful state affiliate,” Phil Foil, deputy commissioner of the Georgia Department of Community Affairs said.
Keep Georgia Beautiful (KGB), housed in the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA), is a public-private partnership, allowing it to benefit from the resources of citizens in government, the corporate world, and community organizations. These connections aid in its mission to build and sustain community environmental activities and behaviors resulting in a more beautiful Georgia. Keep Georgia Beautiful became the first Keep America Beautiful statewide affiliate as Georgia Clean Beautiful in 1978. Keep America Beautiful has since expanded its “Clean Community System” into a national network of nearly 1,000 affiliates and participating organizations.
The Keep Georgia Beautiful Foundation, which supports the mission of KGB and promotes private sector financial funding for environmental education, unveiled a special license plate in support of DCA’s Away-from-Home recycling initiative. The new license plate will raise awareness of recycling and support the Foundation’s education programs.
“We need 1,000 pre-orders by the end of the year, so all of you Georgia folks help us out,” said Lisa White, materials manager of Atlanta-based SP Recycling and treasurer of the Foundation. “Let’s make it happen!”
