Six Blocks, One Garbage Tong

OUR NEWEST ADOPT-A-BLOCK VOLUNTEER, JOHN P., sent me a great message.

“I did my 6 block loop from the house, only got 3/4 of a bag today...2 beer cans,1 liquor bottle and a wiper blade. I count cigarette butts (i hate butts) 46.”

John, along with his wife and their dog, treks approximately three kilometres starting from the corner of Thulin Street and Evergreen Road, west to McLean Street, north to 2nd Avenue, east back to Thulin Street, a westward jag onto 1st Avenue, south on Murphy Street and back home via Evergreen Road.

Like John, many of the volunteers remove trash from the sidewalks and boulevards of Campbell River even in the winter. A person who is service driven performs his or her duty as commonly as they live life.

Mr. Rogers said it simply: “Life is for service.”
