For a littered highway and a bashed coral tree

Story & Experience
I was inspired by a friend to join this initiative yesterday and had not much time to prepare, but then it just inspired me anyway… and I decided to simply open up to the experience and it just came like that: The village I live in at the moment has a “highway”, where part of our community walks between the shop and their homes… and at about 500 m away from the shop the story starts… rubbish, litter sprinkled along the road, indicating the time it took to finish the chips or other snacks on the way, dumped…so I went to pick it up today…and was asked by bypassers what I was doing and shared your story… and the lady that admitted to usually doing the picking-up thanked me and the story was shared again. And just before I left for this, a truck drove by my home, looking for parking and bashed into the coral tree outside and just drove on… oh it hurt! There is the other picture. A friend stopped his car and joined in with compassion. We live in Stanford, a little village close to the beautiful coast of the Western Cape in South Africa.
