(Houston, TX) By creating moments of discovery, you can change minds and behavior in a way that leads to sustainable impact. That is what the Honey Brown Hope Foundation’s “We Love America Healthy, Clean and Green” program has done for a decade. Through photo and essay contests for youth, the organization creates moments of discovery that have cultivated a new generation of “healthy, clean and green” change agents who influence their peers, families and communities.

“The hope of this impact makes the 10-year anniversary for ‘We Love America, Healthy, Clean and Green’ as sweet as honey,” said Founder of the Honey Brown Hope Foundation Tammie Lang Campbell. The signature initiative of the “We Love America Healthy, Clean and Green” program is the award-winning, Nationally recognized calendar that is released at an annual celebration.
This year’s “We Love America Healthy, Clean and Green” 10th Annual Calendar release celebration will be held Saturday, January 20, 2018 at Houston Community College (HCC) Missouri City Campus (1600 Texas Pkwy Missouri City, TX 77489) from 11:30 am – 1 pm.
This annual, free community event is a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whose efforts to ensure equality For sanitation workers, earth’s caretakers, made him an early Drum Major for environmental justice. This year’s theme is “Anti-food Waste” and attendees can expect:
