Litterbugs, Part 12: A Farewell, Sort Of

There are only so many ways you can say, "I went for a walk today, and picked up a bunch of litter along the way."

I know that now.

I began my Great Litter Pickup around the first of this year, and recorded its stunning details in a blog post right around that time. I got so charged up, so enthusiastic about it, that I made regular posts about picking up litter and disposing of it properly. And I got so enthusiastic about that, that I began compiling these posts in their own blog.

But as the expression goes, I guess I bit off more than I could chew. It really proved to be too much. I haven't posted anything new to the litter blog in a couple of months, and don't foresee doing more anytime soon. For one thing, another project is demanding much of my writing time (it was a lull with it that got so hot on blogging to begin with). And for another, as I said...there are only so many ways you can say, "I went for a walk today, and picked up a bunch of litter along the way."

I'm still taking walks and picking up trash, and still railing against anyone so piggish and disrespectful of our shared environment that they litter. That won't change. But I'm running low on ways to write about it.

I'm not officially ending the trash blog, but don't really see how much more stuff I could put there. Whatever there is left to say will probably go in this curious little blogspot.

I'll end here by urging you to never, ever litter, and to urge everyone you know to never, ever, ever litter.

It's good sense, good vibes, and good karma.
