I haven't written a diary here before, but I'm inspired and excited by a group of idealistic young people, one of whom is my daughter. They are walking across the whole country picking up trash on the road. This week, they were awarded the person of the week award on ABC world news, what an honor. Everywhere they find at least 100 pounds a mile of trash on the road. They give presentations to school and other local groups about zero waste, and live in a converted school bus that runs on biodiesel. Check out pickupamerica.org and friend them on facebook for an uplifting, funny, and inspiring look at our country's trash.
