This weekend, you will likely see groups of volunteers on the roadsides of your town collecting litter in bright green plastic bags. Saturday, May 7, is the 46th annual Green Up Day.

VPR's Patti Daniels talked with the president of Green Up Vermont, Melinda Vieux, about the state's longstanding anti-litter tradition.

Patti is an integral part of VPR's news effort and part of the team that created Vermont Edition. As executive producer, Patti supervises the team that puts Vermont Edition on the air every day, working with producers to select and research show ideas, select guests and develop the sound and tone of the program.
