Walking every street in my giant suburban section of L.A, picking up litter as I go. 3 years, and 1,200-ish miles so far. And probably thousands of pounds of trash.

I don’t know if I’ll commit as hard and long as you, but nonetheless you have inspired me to walk out this evening with a trash bag to go pick up some litter. Captain Planet would be so proud of us.

Report back and share how it went? It’s so gratifying and rewarding for me–whether or not anyone sees me do it. And you don’t even have to commit at my level: It started with the notion of picking up just one piece every day…

Only managed to pick up about 8 water bottle types, and about 2 small trash bags worth of random debris, rubber, ropes/lines, and for the love of all that is holy why do people smash glass bottles, like come on! But overall getting dirty helped make my area just a tiny bit cleaner for a little while and I can’t complain about that!

I love that feeling that a space is a little better off for my having passed thru it…
