This will be a brief post but I think it’s an important one and I hope you will too.
We were driving to do a job in Stamford the other day when we saw the inspiration for
this post. We were stopped at a red light and I saw a jogger pick up a water bottle from
the sidewalk. I assumed the bottle belonged to her and that she just dropped it as she
was running. She got going again but shortly thereafter slowed down to pick up a paper
cup that was lying on the sidewalk. It was at this point that we realized the lady was just
picking up random litter as she was running. What a hero I thought. Now there’s no way
of knowing if this unknown hero was going to properly recycle the litter, but I would like
to think that anyone who cares enough to pick up random litter from the ground probably
also cares enough to recycle.
Then I started thinking. What would the world be like if everyone had that same
sort of mentality. I’d imagine that it would be a much better place. Although one person
picking up some litter from the ground isn’t going to end climate change or prevent other
people from littering, it’s the mentality, the extra effort, the desire to do good that can
make a big difference if everyone were to think that way. So pick up some litter from the
ground. Hold the door open for someone. Offer to help. Recycle. It doesn’t take much.
Long story short, do good, care a little more, do a little more. If we all do a little more
good, we can have a big impact. Thanks for reading.
Until Next Time,
