ELKHART, Ind., April 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- This Earth Day,
THOR Industries (NYSE:THO), the world's largest manufacturer
of RVs, is reminding anyone who enjoys getting outside to join the
pledge to Pick Up America and keep our shared outdoor spaces
pristine.
Following a year that saw a dramatic increase in camping, RVing
and the use of public lands, as the RV industry leader, THOR is
committed to raising awareness for the importance of simply picking
up. By mobilizing community members across the U.S. to do their
part in keeping outdoor spaces clean, the company hopes to achieve
their 2021 Pick Up America pledge goal of removing 150 tons of
trash.
Initially launched in 2019, the Pick Up America initiative
parallels THOR Industries' continued focus on reaching long-term
sustainability targets and promotes actionable change for those who
love to get outdoors. As of today, the program's inception goal of
50 tons of trash pledged has been exceeded by over 490% and
counting.
"Over the past year, it has been inspiring to see the increased
excitement around getting outdoors and connecting with nature,"
said Bob Martin, president & CEO
of THOR Industries, Inc. "We also understand that this rise in
usage can put pressure on our public lands. Through the Pick Up
America initiative, it is our intent to provide an easy way for
campers, RVers and outdoor lovers alike to do our part in keeping
these lands clean for all to enjoy now and into the future."
