REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunityHow does the act of picking up litter connect you more to your community?
Laila Van Cleve 7/14/2022 6:20 AMSometimes I get strange looks from passers-by as I'm reaching down to pick up litter on the ground, but I generally don't mind. It reminds me that this isn't something that is too common to see, but the more we do it, the more of a social norm it becomes. -
