-4- <br /> <br /> "Green Up, Clean Up Day" activities can accomplish valuable goals in many <br />parts of our state. They can be of great service to both the state and to <br />local communities throughout Minnesota. <br /> <br /> I believe that in the years 'ahead we must come to rely on the talents <br /> <br />and resources of private citizens and community organizations to a much greater <br />extent that we have in the past~ Our people want to participate. We all want <br />to feel the sense of pride and accomplishment that can only come through <br />personal involvement. As Governor, I want to do everything possible to <br />encourage this. Rather than create a centralized state bureau6racy, I <br />want to promote this as a locally based, volunteer activity. <br /> <br /> We hope to make Governor's "Green Up, Clean Up Day" an annual event in <br />Minnesota. With this in mind, please contact my office (130 State Capital, <br />St. Paul, Minnesota 55155; 612-296-3391) with any suggestions you might have <br /> <br />on how this event might be improved-for next year. By sharing our ideas we <br />can make this a real success. ~ <br /> <br /> The spirit of our citizens, whether shown ten years ago in the first <br />Earth Day or more than 100 years ago in the first Arbor Day, is the spirit <br />we need to reaffirm today. I know I can count on your help to make Minnesota <br />Environment Week the success it deserves to be. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />ALBERT H. QUIE <br />GOVERNOR <br /> <br /> <br />
