I love that you guys are doing this! Glad there are good people in the world! I also try to pick up trash too every so often when I get the chance. I just brought back a bag full of someone else's beer cans from the creek.
First off kudos for getting out there and picking up trash. You are making a small difference. I used to get really bummed out by all the litter in my city. I was hung up on WHY people litter. Then I started picking up litter on my daily walks. Picking up litter makes me feel good and I'm no longer hung up on why people litter. I don't really identify with your 7 stages because it's a binary thing for me. I just feel good when I do it. Nevertheless, much respect to you and for putting in the time to really think about how this effect you emotionally. Keep at it. Cheers!
You ARE making a difference in the following ways: 1) The eco system is impacted in a positive way in the areas you cover 2) Sharing these videos are a great example to all of us how just one (or 2) people can make a difference in the environment 3) Showing the stages of emotions as you start your clean up day helps us to see that we may not want to do something but once we get started it can change our attitude for the best I appreciate you and your wife (?) for tending to your community. All of us can follow your lead and make a world of difference. People that choose to pollute the earth will soon be called into account. (Revelation 11:18)
