Here is a high school friend of mine who has taken picking up trash—also a ritual for me and @kate_icct—to whole new levels. Bravo!

Billy is right that if everyone did just a bit more, our streets, parks, beaches would be a whole lot cleaner.

Picked up two bags of trash today in honor of my friend Billy. Unlike him I did not need to cover 12 miles to do so. I did it in less than two blocks. SF has a huge trash problem. We have shitty and sparse public trash cans and and way too much littering/dumping.

Sometime people thank me for picking up trash. I hope it is an example and all that. But I absolutely make a point of thanking DPW and other paid street cleaners for their much much harder and sustained work, and I encourage you all to do the same.
