Mercedes-Benz knows that being truly committed to helping the environment comes in many forms. While the German automaker is at the forefront of experimental technologies aimed at minimizing the carbon footprint associated with automotive commuting, they also know that it's easy to help out in a more direct way that will have a more immediate impact by cleaning up the garbage and debris left by partiers on the coasts of New Jersey and New York.

This is something that everyone at Wilson Mercedes-Benz greatly supports, as it shows that the company's employees are willing to work hard to protect the environment, and give back when they can. And, the fact that more than 200 Mercedes-Benz showed up for the event further proves that choosing to launch this initiative was the right move.

Of course, the most impressive stat isn't the number of employees that participated, but rather the amazing volume of garbage and debris that was properly disposed of accordingly. In all, Mercedes-Benz employees managed to remove well over 12,700 pieces of garbage from the picture, leaving the area cleaner, safer, and more attractive.

"Mercedes-Benz has a rich history of environmental sensitivity and innovation, and we're excited about this very special partnership and opportunity - right in our backyard here in New Jersey," says Lisa Rosenfeld, General Manager, HR, Mercedes-Benz USA. Another point that Rosenfield fails to bring up, however, is just how much the company then proceeded to donate after generously allowing their employees to help. More specifically, the automaker made an extremely generous $11,000 donation.

If the employees of Mercedes-Benz are willing to put this much effort into a philanthropic effort, then just imagine the kind of quality you'll find in a new Mercedes-Benz.
