You don't have to register with a group on a Saturday morning to pick up trash...
Although it may seem never-ending and futile when looking at the bigger picture, picking up abandoned trash and litter can benefit your mental health, AND drive positive change in your local environment.
Start today!
Going for you daily walk around the neighborhood? Make it a “Trash Treasure Hunt”! Some days, I don’t even begin my walk with the intention of cleaning up, until I see an abandoned plastic bag begging to be filled with other un-biodegradable goodies.
"When you've finished your own toilet in the morning, then it is time to attend to the toilet of your planet, just so, with the greatest care."
