Paige asked me "why do people litter?". Not easy to answer this one because really why do people litter? Is it simply laziness or a genuine disrespect for our environment? The answer will continue to be debated but Paige's interest in the problem created her task this week. Ok so back to where we were when this all started...Paige and I went up to the local highschool track this Sunday to train for her upcoming race when she noticed the garbage all over the bleechers and grass area. First guess would be there was a football game on the Friday Night that lead to the beer bottles underneath the seats. Regardless it was a mess and if the school thought it was due to the track area being open we may not be able to train there again. So...once we finished our training we headed home, grabbed garbage bags and went back to clean up.
Pretty proud of Paige's enthusaism to clean up and help out this week. She spent an hour picking up and analizing the grabage! "Why is there coloured water in this water bottle?" lol. Wow, things never change! Once she had finished cleaning up she tossed the garbage into the dumpster behind the school and gave me a high five. Awesome!
