More than 200 students from East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania are participating in ‘Adopt-A-Block,’ a program sponsored by the university’s Office of Health Education and AToD (Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs) Prevention in which students pick up trash from streets in East Stroudsburg Borough.
According to Health Education & AToD Prevention Coordinator, Alyson Patascher, 20 groups have signed contracts and are working to clean up 21 streets. The initiative began last semester and will continue throughout the 2013-14 academic year. Among the groups represented so far this semester include the Health and Physical Education Club, the Exercise Science Club, Contemporary Dancers, the Athletic Department, the Biology Club and Rotaract. Registered groups must clean up their respective street at least one a month.
