Walking around a shopping center this weekend, I saw a young boy drop a small piece of paper he had in his hand onto the ground. Right after his mother responded, "Conner, stop please. Please pick up this piece of trash." Conner stopped for a second, looked at his mom, then backtracked his way to his fallen piece of paper. His mom said, "Thank you. There's a trash can right there you can drop it in."
What a wonderful mother and son!
Litter can seem to be the impossible task. Yet, if we all took the approach of Conner and his mother, imagine how clean our world could be! Not only do we pick things up if we drop them, but hopefully being held accountable will help us to not drop them in the first place!
And, if you're so kind, when you see a piece of trash on the ground (and it's safe to pick up) please consider dropping it in your nearest trash receptacle.
