    Last year I got a lot of strange looks when I said “no straw”. So far I’m noticing that it seems more normal of a request and many people understand why without me having to explain.

    How does the act of picking up litter connect you more to your community?

    Picking up litter is one way I can be part of the solution rather than the person that complains about how dirty my community is or how rude people can be. It makes me much more positive about my environment.

      True!! People notice when you choose to take action rather than ignore it! Nice work! 🙌
