Tina Sablan has been appointed as the CNMI State Coordinator for America Recycles Day.

Enrique Dela Cruz, the outgoing CNMI State Coordinator for ARD, announced Sablan's appointment in a Sept. 26 letter to America Recycles Day national director Jimmy O'Connor.

"I find Tina to be exceptionally diligent and hard working. She is nice, considerate, sensitive, good humored, and friendly," said Dela Cruz.

Sablan works for the Division of Environmental Quality as Waste Reduction and Recycling coordinator. She holds a bachelor's degree in Conservation Science. She currently chairs the Beautify CNMI! Recycling Committee, which promotes recycling at community events, schools, businesses, residential areas, and public buildings and parks.

Meanwhile, the National Public Lands Day is this Friday, Sept. 29 at the American Memorial Park's Marianas Memorial. There will be a proclamation signing to mark the occasion, followed by the unveiling of the Beautify CNMI!'s anti-litter activities for the month of October aimed at mobilizing the community to clean up, protect, and celebrate public lands.

"We will also present the fabulous Beautify CNMI! winning logo and officially certify the new Litter Control Officers who will be crucial partners in the anti-litter campaign," said Sablan in an e-mail message yesterday.

The proclamation signing will begin promptly at 9am.
