We are living in the most wonderful country in the world and yet littering has become extremely rampant.  Our neighborhoods are like wast baskets.  People throw empty cups, cigarette packs, empty beer bottles and more  into yards or on the street.  The exits from interstates are embarrassing!  Why are we disrespecting where we live?  Being proud and showing respect is our heritage! We are an intelligent country that is headed for destruction if we can't find a reason to love who we are and what we represent. 
When you are walking for the meditation or daily exercise take one of the grocery bags that are floating around and put trash in it. Make each day matter!
