Michelle Feldman: Keeping Philly Beautiful #ThisWeekI

It’s another Monday, which means either we have to kick up the caffeine or inspiration (or both!) for this edition of #ThisWeekI.

This week’s column features Michelle Feldman, director of Keep Philadelphia Beautiful. Although she may be small in stature, this gal has got a LOT of ideas, enthusiasm and positive energy. Seriously, how cute is this photo (even when she’s getting dirty to cleanup) she submitted?

Let’s meet Michelle.

Michelle Feldman

Name: Michelle Feldman
Neighborhood: Border between Society Hill and Bella Vista
Occupation: Director of Keep Philadelphia Beautiful
Fav Cleanup Effort: I’ll give you two! One of my favorite Keep Philadelphia Beautiful cleanup efforts involved partnering with the North 5th Street Revitalization Project and TD Bank volunteers last year. We did a two day massive cleanup along the North 5th Street corridor in Olney and worked our butts off! It was great. I also love the annual Philly Spring Cleanup Day run by the Streets Department. They’ve done such a great job of getting the entire City engaged and excited!
Celeb I’d Like to Meet: I’d love to meet Hillary Clinton. (Predictable, right?)
One Green Thing Philly Should Do NOW!: I think we should all pick up at least one piece of litter each day. I’ve found that doing that in a public space often starts a conversation with someone about litter, its environmental and social impacts.
