The simplest, easiest way to do this is to commit to a '5 A Day' pledge. You might be expecting me to tell you to eat 5 fruits and vegetables or something of this nature... but I subscribe to the 'pick up 5 pieces of litter each day' policy. That's right. Get eco-friendly and 'pick up 5 pieces of litter each day!'
Think about the impact you could have?
5 pieces * 7 days a week = 35
35 * 4 weeks = 140
140 * 12 months * 1680
1680 * 10 years = 16,800 pieces of litter cleaned up in 10 years - BY YOU!
Now imagine if we convinced 1 million people to subscribe to the '5 A Day' rule? We could literally change the world. We could prevent accidents, make neighborhoods prettier, make someone smile at a kind deed, and impact the world nearly 17 million times in the next 10 years!
And it will literally take you less than a minute a day.
Let's go! 5 Pieces to day and each day! And... tell someone else about it too. We've got to grow the movement to as many people as we can. If we don't do it, no one else will!
Rules to keep litter pick-up safe:
-Carry anti-bacterial gel with you and use it after each trash pick up
-Feel free to keep latex gloves in your pocket to use to protect yourself (also good if you need to help someone in an accident/perform CPR/someone hurt)
-Don't pick up something you think could be harmful
