RE: "Be the change you want to see in the world"

in #minnowuprising6 years ago

I'm a hillwalking fanatic, and if I see litter on a mountain, I generally put it in my backpack to dispose of later. Many hillwalkers do this. It's great to see it happening on the streets too. Though sometimes I worry that if people do that in urban areas, the local governments will just cut street cleaning services. That's my only concern. However I think it's great to do it in your own area.

Thats awesome of u! I have noticed people who hike and enjoy nature tend to be much better about litter than most.

I don't know if cities would stop street cleaning services if there was less litter but if they aren't needed then they aren't needed no big deal, why waste the taxes on that?.
however i live in the country in the middle of nowhere so thats not something that is really of concern out here..

Lucky you living in the country! I'd certainly be happy for government to be more hands-off - in most regards anyway.
