Mayor Connie Bozen urged Des Moines residents to get outside and take part in the city's "Think Green" spring activities, encouraging participation in neighborhood "scrub days," a citywide "trash bash" and other volunteer opportunities. "When we work together to foster a greener and cleaner environment, our pollinators, landscapes, wildlife, and households all see the benefits," Bozen said. She directed residents to the city's digital "Think Green" guide for details on programs and events and said the initiatives apply to both homeowners and apartment dwellers. The mayor framed the effort as a community-wide push to improve local green spaces and reduce litter, noting that individual actions help make the city cleaner and healthier. The announcement served as a public invitation to volunteer rather than a policy decision or formal council action.
