Today I was on a typical walk though my neighborhood. I needed to enjoy the fresh air and clear my head -then there it was- TRASH! It was one of the reasons I started this blog and I want to share with you a SIMPLE ACT
Picking up Trash
Who picks up trash these days? I mean, sure, littering is frowned upon. But Who is going to pick it up? Then it dawned on me, that person could be ME. I started doing it because my mother did it. I knew it was one way to keep the earth clean.
It's free to do, anyone can find a place to do it, because Trash collects everywhere. I picked up 4 small garbage bags today. I primarily target items that will not decompose- cans, plastic, Styrofoam, tin foil.
My hope is that as I walk my neighborhood street, people see me picking up trash. My goal is to inspire them, through ACTIONS. It doesn't mean that you have to devote your entire life to it, but be aware. If you see something, pick it up! Don't pass it by. You'd be amazed at how such a SIMPLE ACT can Change the World.
Imagine if we all did this....
Tomorrow, my Recycling gets picked up. I am so thankful to have curb side recycling. Some cities do not have this service. If you have a recycle bin, please fill it up. You would be surprised at how many trash bags you save. One SIMPLE ACT
