Got litter? Your community does, mine does too. I don't know how many litterbugs I've got in my area but I do have high winds from time to time. And when those winds kick up - especially on trash pickup days - I see trash flying around that didn't make it in the trucks or flew out of the cans that tipped over. I see the trash swirling and flying through the air and landing in the ditches and catching on tree branches and getting caught up in brush. And I cringe. So even if there are no litterbugs - and I really hope nobody I know is one - there is still litter to clean up thanks to wind and other out-of-our-control factors.
For #SundayService take one hour, grab some family and friends, and go clean up an area in your community. You'll need heavy duty trash bags, gloves, a bin for the recyclables, sturdy shoes, and water. One hour and many hands and you'll be surprised at how much you pick up and how much better the area you choose looks! If we all did one hour of litter clean-up imagine the difference that would make.
Oh, and get the kids involved to! Make it a game - I found this thanks to Google searching.
So go outside and spend an hour today improving your community. And have fun doing it!
*Next #SundayService Sneak Peek: It's all about thanking our emergency responders. Get ready to show them some gratitude! If you want to do some preparation beforehand Google some ideas or check out some of these ideas and get some supplies ready: police appreciation, firefighter appreciation, or this idea. For EMT/Paramedics you can do the same thing as for police.*
