One of the reasons I felt it was important to get the LitterProject message out was  to empower people to make a difference. Every day. This is as much an exercise in participation in the world, as it is a method to clean up litter.

Many of us feel that the world is out of control, with issues like climate change, cultural decline, and economic meltdowns getting us down. And many more of us feel that these issues are so big, so far beyond our grasp, that there is little we can do to stop them.

This is simply not true. We can stop things from spiraling out of control and we can make things better, in whatever arenas matter most to us. We just need to stop thinking huge (if we feel Read the rest of this entry »
