I went on a 5-block trash cleanup walk near my apartment and it completely changed the block
Last month I grabbed a grocery bag and a grabber from my local buy nothing group and walked just five blocks near Broadway in Seattle. I filled two full bags with random litter in about 25 minutes. People actually waved at me from their porches, and two neighbors asked if I do this every week. Has anyone else noticed that a single cleanup effort makes your street feel totally different the next day?

Tbh the key is just grabbing one of those grabbers from a hardware store. Makes it way easier on your back and you can get into bushes without kneeling in gross stuff. After a few weeks of doing my block people started joining in and now we have a little crew on Saturdays.

Wait, you actually got other people to voluntarily pick up trash on a Saturday morning?
