Mj Waters 8/01/2019 5:00 AMExiting my car to see a man flick his cigarillo butt in a puddle on the ground right in front of me! He apologized profusely - not for littering but for throwing something in front of me. I told him about the challenge and that I would have to pick it up. He said "no, no!" but didn't move to retrieve it. So I picked it up, put in the trash can (which was about 3 feet away). I talked to him and his girlfriend nad told him that he could pay it forward by making sure he disposed of those appropriately in the future. Hope to have made a small impact! -

But a few people out e and say “ thank you” or “I do that too.” If I can inspire a few other people to do the same, that’s good. The reason I pick up trash is simple - it’s my Earth and taking care of it is important.
