Give a hoot people, please!
People are gross. Not all people. But some people. The people who toss their trash on the ground. Those are the people I’m talking about here. They are gross.
Inspired by this guy, I eco-ran today. The sun is out (!!) so I grabbed my sunscreen and a trash bag and went for it. I have to say, it’s not easy. I don’t quite have the finesse to swoop down and grab the trash without breaking my stride, so it’s a lot of stopping and starting. I had quite a few stares from the drivers along the A256 in Cliff’s End. So yes, if you googled “crazy running woman picking up trash on the A256 near Cliff’s End” that is me. If you’d like to join me next time, send me an email. There was WAY too much for me to pick up alone.

That’s ambitious, I’m not sure how good I’d be at that… though I do pass this great old man every morning who is walking and picking up trash in the neighborhood.

Wow. Way to get out there and do something about it. My contribution would probably consist of just complaining on my blog about all the trash.

I like this idea. Do you wear gloves or anything?
