well over 90 cities throughout the United States; and

Whereas, The State of Georgia has recently, officially,
endorsed this program pursuant to statewide implementation;
and

official state capital and a major tourist center, has
adopted and is implementing the Clean Community Systems

becoming a better and healthier place to live and work in,
both environmentally and aesthetically, by fostering a
community effort to reduce litter; and
