WHEREAS, Chattanooga is rich in natural resources and unique beauty; and WHEREAS, the month of April being one of the loveliest months of the year, when flowers begin to bloom, grass turns green, and citizens throughout the area begin flocking outdoors for travel, sightseeing, sports and all the pleasures that our area has to offer; and WHEREAS, in our enjoyment of the outdoors we tend to forget that the next time it may not be so pleasant if we have to wade through the litter of those who come before us, and those who come after us will not appreciate our litter; and WHEREAS, it takes so little time to deposit of our trash in receptacles for that purpose, dispose of our household refuse in a proper manner, or use a car litterbag as we travel, rather than dumping it just anywhere; and WHEREAS, it should be the goal of all citizens to make our area an even more beautiful place in which to live by keeping it clean and beautiful for our enjoyment as well as that of all future generations; and WHEREAS, it is the goal of the Scenic Cities Beautiful Commission to encourage citizens to do their part, not only during April, but during all twelve months of the year, to keep the natural beauties of our area unmarred by unsightly litter; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE, that there be and is hereby announced the support of the Chattanooga City Council for the efforts of the Scenic Cities Beautiful Commission in the second annual GLAD Bag-A-Thon Program, March 28, 1992 through April 25, 1992, the nation's largest organized clean-up and recycling program.
