What quote am I vibing?  “Like music and art, love of nature is a common language that can transcend political or social boundaries.” President Jimmy Carter

Pounds of Trash Removed from the Wild since Last Post: 41

Pounds of Trash Removed from the Wild in 2025 (704 Pound Goal): 41

All-Time Pounds of Trash Removed from the Wild: 4,172


2025! A fresh new year, and I'll dedicate all my volunteer work this year to the memory of Jimmy Carter who never ever stopped caring or working hard for the good of humanity.


I loved finding this quote from President Carter about the love of nature transcending politics. Something I often say about what I do is - nobody can really be mad about me picking up trash. We may disagree on many other things - we may even disagree about my motivation for picking up trash, but if the neighborhood looks better and is healthier for my efforts, that's objectively a good thing.


This year, I will look to continue to inspire others to care about the environment.

Pick up trash more frequently.

Meet my goal of 704 pounds for the year. (On track!)

Meet my goal of a monthly blog post. (On track!)

And find those sparks of good in the world that give us hope for a brighter future and a healthier environment.
