this is a noble endeavor. when i find a piece of trash in a place i frequent, such as a neighborhood park, i do not stop at a single piece.

when in public at a less-often-frequented place, i only pick up trash that is easy to pick up (such as a finished bottle standing on a ledge).

i believe that it helps to make these actions public! it feels good and awakens people to the trash problem.

the other day some teenage boy spat his gum out on the pavement of a parking lot, so i asked "do you spit onto your driveway also?" obviously i have no authority over him, but asking questions is not forbidden, just like asking for time or location.
