HI MY NAME IS ROBIN,
Have a look at the photo below; two garbage cans so near yet
so far, for some, from the litter. My Adopt-a-Block route is unlike most of the
other volunteers. I don't have to lug trash long distances to get to a
receptacle; in fact there are two more cans within 15 metres of those shown. So
it just seemed right to pick this kind of thing up myself on my twice-a-day dog
walks.
My dogs have changed but unfortunately the litter has not.
When I met Susan and became an 'official' volunteer I didn't expect anything to
change, but something did. I did.
Having those cans nearby used to irritate me. Thinking
"How can people be so unthinking and lazy?" as I stuffed their
garbage where it belonged. That has
faded away and calm has been restored. Removing litter is just another part of
our walk, like throwing the ball for Ruby.
