PESHTIGO, Wis. – April 29, 2022
BPM Inc’s environmental citizenship includes the conservation of natural resources and exploring new opportunities to protect the air we breathe and the land on which we live. As part of our initiative, we partner with local schools. Students from area schools will join together to recognize Earth Day by picking up trash, litter and garbage to make area communities cleaner. For the past several years, BPM has donated biodegradable garbage bags and compostable gloves for area students to use in clean-up efforts. Schools and organizations which have volunteered to clean up surrounding areas of school grounds and communities include Beecher-Dunbar-Pembine, Coleman Middle and High School, Marinette Middle School, Menominee Central Elementary and High School, Oconto Elementary and Middle School, Oconto Falls Elementary, and Wausaukee High School. With the excellent response and interest, the company provided bags and gloves to 16 schools and organizations for an estimated 2600 students, teachers and volunteers.
The area schools that agreed to participate appoint a teacher or staff member as the contact person and event coordinator. The schools estimated the number of students participating and supplies were provided accordingly. Each school may choose the Clean Up day according to weather and class schedules.
The Earth Day Clean Up event is designed to partner with local schools and help students to recognize the need to take care of our environment and in return, provide a beautified community for all. A special thank you is extended to the coordinators at each school and the eagerness to partner with BPM.
