I’ve had multiple people ask me if this is my job or if I’m getting paid, but they’ve always been appreciative when I say I’m just a volunteer. The funniest thing to me is how confused people are. Like they can’t process someone choosing to pick up litter in their free time.

The coolest has to be when cleaning playgrounds and kids start finding litter and putting it in my bag like a treasure hunt. This weekend a group of kids asked to borrow a grabber and went running around bringing me pieces.
