For over a decade, Subaru of New England has sponsored Green Up Vermont, a statewide cleanup day that dates back over 50 years. Keeping the Green Mountain State as green as possible is important to the Vermont Subaru retailers, whose employees volunteer to help clean up local waterways and communities. In addition to volunteering, each Vermont Subaru retailer also serves their community as an official Green Up Day trash bag pick-up location and then provides a dumpster on-site to serve as a drop-off location for the public.

Overall combined efforts of more than 19000 total volunteers statewide produced 43000 bags of trash, totaling 497 tons, as well as 14315 tires, being collected!
Vermont's Certified Eco-Friendly Retailers did their part to ensure
the success of Green Up Vermont.
‌

Brattleboro Subaru in Brattleboro offered coffee and donuts in the morning, followed by a BBQ cookout in the afternoon, to their volunteers.
‌

Lundgren Subaru in Bennington joined forces with Girl Scout Troop 58007 and chose Willow Park in Bennington as their clean-up location.
‌


Saint J Subaru in St. Johnsbury provided coffee, hot dogs and burgers to those who volunteered.
White River Subaru in White River Junction continued to offer green trash bags as an incentive to keep "greening up" even after the events of the day were over. Take a look at Brian Moore's Facebook video.
Dave Wright Subaru Green Team Initiatives
Dave Wright Nissan Subaru in Hiawatha, IA, celebrated Earth Day throughout the month of April by handing out packets of wildflower seeds (all pollinator flowers indigenous to the area) to guests in the service department. Earth Day itself was marked by repotting all the showroom plants with fresh dirt and nutrients.
Dave Wright Nissan Subaru has just completed a pollinator garden at the dog park they have constructed nearby the dealership. Zoey Grimm, Executive Assistant at the dealership, remarked that, "The bees are in trouble." One of the main reasons for building the garden is to help offset that problem.
Now that you're motivated to make your own pollinator garden to help support your local environment, please watch the above "how-to" video, courtesy of Dave Wright Nissan Subaru in Hiawatha, IA.
