CARRY IN/CARRY OUT PROGRAM We all understand the importance of caring for our environment so that we leave our planet better than we found it for future generations. Each one of us can make a difference. The same is true for our parks. Here is your opportunity to be a good park steward. We are asking for your help and cooperation in keep- ing our parks clean and safe through our Carry In/ Carry Out program. You simply need to carry out all waste and recyclables you bring into the park. Basi- cally leave the park the way you found it. It's that simple. The purpose of this program is to raise awareness about generating less waste, using more reusable containers, increasing recycling efforts, and tak- ing better care of our parks. It's also good for our environment and saves tax dollars! We hope you will accept this responsibility and adhere to the Carry In/ Carry Out program.
