A couple of
weeks ago, I went home to visit my family in Northern Ontario. On the drive
back to the greyhound station, my mom and I noticed this man picking up trash
on the side of the highway. She was saying how this man was very well known in the community and how his daily routine consisted of walking from village to village in the area to pick up litter by the side of
the road in order to make it a better and cleaner place to live. I
thought this was a great deed and it got me thinking that I should do the same too.
When I was taking a walk during my lunch break at work on Friday, I noticed
that there was this field full of trash nearby. I went in the closest store and
asked for a garbage bag. The nice man, after chuckling to my unusual request, handed me one and expressed support and gratitude towards what I was doing. In
15 minutes, I managed to pick up a full garbage bag of trash and some recyclable
materials.

Fifteen minutes is all it took to make a healthy green field a bit more pleasing to the eye.
