"If there’s a world here in a hundred years, it’s going to be saved by tens of millions of little things. The powers-that-be can break up any big thing they want. They can corrupt it or co-opt it from the inside, or they can attack it from the outside. But what are they going to do about 10 million little things? They break up two of them, and three more like them spring up!"

Thank Heaven for Families! (And more trash)

Yesterday I spent too long on my Super Secret Project (sewing). My back was in agony all night. Today I was a mess. Mom came, though, and knew just what to do. She also picked up the deed of the day for me. :) Thanks, Mom.

The project:Picking up trash - again.

Time:Negligible.

Why bother?The trash was blowing around in our park. Mom's a good egg.

Worth it?Yes.

    the trash everywhere is SO not right. do you remember the tv commercials in the 70's (dating myself!)with the american indian crying as he watches people throw trash out the window of the cars on the freeway? i'm thinking it's time to do some public education on littering, again. those commercials had a huge impact on me as a child.
    good work - thanks for caring enough to do this!

    I DO remember those commercials. I think they do a lot of green education in most schools, largely focused on recycling. As with all things, it's those few bad apples...
