A brief description of the campaign:
To celebrate Earth Day and Salve’s immaculate campus, Mission Integration and Salve’s Grounds Department host a campus clean-up day for the critical concern of Earth! Sign up as a team of up to 6 or an individual and we'll put you on a team for the clean-up and participate in a fun competition to see who can pick up the most! Meet back at Gerety for some refreshments and to learn who wins following the Clean-Up at 1:30pm. Gloves, bags, and tools will be provided. All are welcome (staff, faculty, students, and friends of Salve) and participants are invited to dress down!

A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign:
55 student, faculty, staff, and community members competed to see who could pick up the most trash, recycling, etc on campus and surrounding Newport area. People picked up 220lbs in ~1 hour on Earth Day. In a survey, one attendee reflected "“The earth day cleanup...wasn't just a plan or a hope, it was a tangible action. Also nice to be in community with my colleagues with such a low-stakes responsibility of picking up trash.”
