I Felt a Deep Sadness

Dear Friends,
Two Hands, about 90 minutes: todayΒ I felt a deep sadnessΒ as I cleaned up one of our worst litter hot spots in Natick, Massachusetts (USA). Β It was the Oak St. Bridge over the Mass Pike (I-90); and I've only done the south approach. Β Still have to do the north approach (also badly littered with the same stuff). Β Never saw so much alcohol litter in one place. Β Maybe 3 - 5 yrs. worth. Β Not sure.Β Β Perhaps 150 bottles plus the nips. Β Folks trying to self-medicate then toss the evidence out the car window before parents or loved ones discover it? Β I worry. Β I wonder how we've lost our way...and who willΒ help these folks?Β Looks like our Trash-Free Natick Project will need a few more volunteers. Β Let me know if you'd like to get involved. Β -pat
