iris, the Tennessee cultivated flower. Iris Tennessee Cheatham . Tennessee’s wild flower, the passionflower, was combined with Tennessee’s agricultural insect, the bumblebee, and was appropriately named, Bee Passionate Tennessee Cheatham during the school year of 2015-2016. After the completion of each art project cycle, all works of art were displayed at the Museum of Litter at the Cheatham County Courthouse lawn. A public auction was held with 100% of the proceeds being returned to the schools thus raising over $5,700 for our schools. This countywide fundraising litter-art project is offered every other year. Our third art project, Bass Tennessee Cheatham, is this school year’s 2017-2018 project. This ties nicely into the anti-litter program as litter negatively impacts our marine life also. In addition to the printed publication and bi-annual fund raising art project, a Facebook page has been created that offers more information and on-line flip book editions. Teachers have the ability to put this on their classroom white boards. Social media is a huge advantage to get the word out. Since May of 2014, Let’s Talk Trash News! has grown from an 8 page booklet, to a 16 page tabloid, into the now 24 page tabloid. The issues will remain this size and page count due to the ease of repeated handling for the time span that is in-between issues. Thank you for your interest in Let’s Talk Trash News! Kind regards,
