CLEAN UP ISELIN!

Spring Cleaning is in the air, and it would be great if everyone in Iselin spent a little time to make our neighborhood a little cleaner.  At JFK High School, there is a club called the Eco-Friendly Club, and they wanted to get rid of the litter people see when they first drive into Iselin off the Parkway.  When they found out they weren't allowed to clean up the messy stretch along Route 27, they decided to try another tactic.  This is the story I read in the JFK Newsletter... maybe you will sign their petition, too?

Eco-Friendly Club Petitions NJ Transit 

to Clean Up Exit 131

As published in the JFK Memorial High School Newsletter, Vol. 21, Issue 3 - March, 2013

By: Ms. Danielle Sawyer

The JFKMHS Eco-Friendly club has started an

online petition on Change.org to appeal to NJ Transit

to clean up their property at Exit 131 off of the Garden

State Parkway.

The club members recently took notice of the area,

which is about a half mile stretch covered in litter beginning at the light on Route 27 at the Parkway South entrance/exit and ending at the light at the intersection of Green Street and Route 27 in Iselin.

The club members contacted Woodbridge Township expressing an interest in cleaning up the area in order to give visitors of Woodbridge Township who arrive via Exit 131 on the GSP a better impression of what the town has to offer.

However, students were told that the property belonged to NJ transit and that due to the close proximity to the street and the railroad tracks, it would not be safe for the club to organize a property clean-up. Instead, club members have decided to take a different course of action, petitioning NJ Transit to clean up the property themselves.

The petition,organized by club Vice President Ileana Race can befound on Change.org by clicking HERE.

It features pictures of the property as well as a description of the club’s appeal to NJ Transit. The club will start a heavy campaign toward collecting signatures both online and in person beginning mid-March. If you have not already done so, please visit the link above to sign the petition,and spread the word to everyone you know.  Woodbridge Township residents can unite to get this corporation to take proper care of their property to better represent our community!

This a picture of the Change.org page you will be directed to - please sign the petition, and share - get others to sign too!  Clean Up Iselin!!!
