Seven Vermont Retailers Join Statewide Spring Cleanup
One state, seven retailers, 22,500 volunteers, and 246 tons of litter. No, it’s not math homework. It’s Green Up Day 2020, a 50-year Vermont tradition. This year all seven Vermont Subaru retailers participated as pick up and drop off locations and formed teams to help with the cleanup work.
Join Nationwide Plogging Event Sept. 20
Last spring, Williams Subaru Charlotte first introduced us to plogging — the combination of jogging and picking up trash. Now there's a nationwide event you can join in September — Keep America Beautiful's TrashDash.

Form a crew with your Green Team, open it up to all employees, or use social media to invite customers and community members. Choose a block, park, or local street to clean up, then post on social media using the event tags.

This is a great way to meet the yearly Eco-Friendly Community Outreach requirement. Current restrictions may limit retailer options for events this year, but with advanced planning plogging can be done at a safe six foot (or more) social distance. Grab some bags, stay distanced, and help clean up your neighborhood.
If you participate in TrashDash, let us know.
Ask for Help, Patriot Subaru Delivers

Going green isn’t simply a tag line at Patriot Subaru, its associates live it inside and outside the store … even on weekends … even on Mother’s Day. Hear Patriot's sales associate Corey Creteau tell how he and eight other Patriot Subaru employees helped clean up an illegal trash dump site in Saco, ME.
