OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR DISTRIBUTES CLEAN-UP BAGS TO ST. CROIX EASTER CAMPERS In recognition of the Easter Holiday Season, the Office of the Governor is assisting St. Croix campers island-wide with the care and clean-up of garbage from picnicking, barbequing, and camping. Teams under the umbrella of the "St. Croix Be Clean" campaign, lead by St. Croix Administrator Pedro "Pete" Encarnacion, are distributing personal trash bags in the Christiansted and Frederiksted beach areas, as well as to other camp sites throughout the island. "Since the creation of the St. Croix Be Clean campaign, we have been working diligently to educate residents about the importance of keeping the island clean, and have been providing direct clean-up assistance to areas needing special attention. As a community it is important that we treasure the beauty of our place in paradise and continue to provide for a clean and safe area for one another at all times," Administrator Encarnacion said. "This holiday season, I would like to wish all Virgin Islanders a blessed Easter," Encarnacion continued. Bags are being distributed to campers on St. Croix through Monday, March 24th. |
