A gift for nature

A friend of mine inspired me to pick up a piece of garbage every time I'm out for a walk.

It's something that crosses my mind a lot when I see litter on the streets, but I often don't carry about a plastic bag with me.

Today, I was reminded to take two with me. One that I used as "glove" and the other to put the trash in. It didn't take me long to fill up a whole grocery shopping bag during our walk along a tributary to the Waterford River nearby our house. I was surprised by how much litter there was, but it felt good to even do the little that I did to clean it up. I'm going to continue to carry around some garbage bags with me and have already stuffed two in my purse for our next outing.
