I want to launch a voluntary “Cleaning Our City” campaign. Where to start?



I’m going into high school next year, and I just read on Yahoo! that the almighty US is doing very poorly in keeping it’s cities clean. I live in Indianapolis, Indiana. I want to start something where I can put flyers up in my school and urge kids to come and help clean up things like trash around the highways.

I don’t want to volunteer anywhere, because I want to start my own campaign. All I want is for me, and kids from my high school (Or if I get bigger than I anticipate..) other kids from other local schools can help to walk around the downtown city and highways of Indianapolis. I would have friends with trucks park near so we can put the trash bags and large trash like tires in the back. I am very proud to be from Indianapolis, and I would be even prouder to be here when it’s cleaner. I think I’ll talk to my high school counselor about it, and she’ll/he’ll tell me where to start. I want to know who to contact, I want the city to know we’re out here wandering around cleaning. Should I write a letter or email or call? And who?

Thanks so much for reading!!! I will really appreciate it if you help me!
