Litter Project supports her work wholeheartedly. We also humbly hope that this website helps spread a similar idea to even more people that it might reach the corners of the globe. At this time in human history, we clearly need all the bright lights shining.

This is a great opportunity to set aside some time to help others doing  something you’ve always wanted to do… and to be in good company with millions of others who have joined efforts in the spirit of service.

If you haven’t yet decided what you want to do, or don’t have lots of free time, I encourage you to participate in LitterProject, by cleaning up litter in a favorite– or simply hurting– community spot. Bring a bag or two, a pair of gloves, and maybe even a friend, and pick up trash and dispose of it in a thoughtful way. This is a simple way to make a difference and lets you participate in something great.

Don’t let the day go by…
