This group is for people who don’t have the time to cleanup highways once a week or save endangered animals from the toxic hazards of bio-magnification…
However, this group is for people who are tired feel like there is nothing they can do to make a difference to improve our environment. This group is for people who are simply fed up with watching our environment fall apart in front of eyes. This group is for people who are ready and willing to make a stand.
But what kind of a stand you ask?
Nothing on a huge scale that requires sitting in trees for weeks on end to save a few acres from being bulldozed (not that I don’t support those efforts, this just isn’t that kind of group).
What this group promotes is simply stating a straightforward phrase and performing a simple action when someone throws a cigarette butt on the ground, leaves trash behind in a public park, or when they neglect to pick up their waste after ‘missing a three point shot,” etc.
The phrase and the action are simple, but it has a tremendous effect waking the perpetrator out of their pre-global-warming-narcosi
So with no further ado, here it is…
While simultaneously holding the discarded item at an identifiable distance (don’t put it in their face) announce nicely (don’t be a jerk it will have the opposite effect)
“Excuse me You Dropped This”
That’s it. That is all it takes.
If all goes well they will realize what they just did was wrong, and that HELL YES people do care about the planet. I’m not saying it will work 100% of the time, but more often then not it has an overwhelming effect on the individual and they usually apologize for the offence. And trust me, you will truly feel like you did something to help the environment, especially because you have.
So please pass a group invite to all the people you know because we all share one thing in common… EARTH. We only have one Earth so we have to take care of it now.
Please help.
Please be kind to those who know not what they do is wrong.
Please teach others how to recycle.
Please take notice when you walk around… count the cigarette butts… Scary Hugh?
Please Try.
You won’t be able to change everyone, but you can change one or two who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two, who can change one or two…
