Green Up Day is an annual event when citizens of Vermont volunteer to pick up litter and trash in their communities. It was conceived of by Governor Dean Davis and started in 1970. This metal hand-painted sign was one of the earliest produced by the Vermont Department of Transportation to promote the day.
