Road, street, avenue, circle, lane: no matter which we live on we can make our little area of the world a little better. Take the time to do a little pick up along the road just once a week. All you need are two bags; one for trash, and another for things that can be recycled.
Don't even worry about what people may be thinking. Who knows — others may soon join you! Remember to wear gloves or get a grabber to pick up the debris.
