    Picking up garbage is such a simple action! It honestly doesn't feel like much in the moment but it's great to know trash that could be mistaken for food by local wildlife is disposed of properly - even recycled or composted! This action not only beautifies our communities but also protects the wild spaces within them.

    Not everyone wants to engage in this conversation or knows how to engage in the conversation if they do want to. Setting up a post that invites voluntary engagement is a great tool to get the ball rolling!
