    I think it's important to have pride in where we live and contribute to making it look nicer in addition to returning certain parts of nature back to how it was. This includes picking up trash from the lawns and streets in our communities because it certainly doesn't belong there.

    I believe that sharing knowledge is key! If I can show people the swaps I’m making to use less plastic and care for the environment, people can learn and realize they can make the swaps as well.
