Tue 6 March 2007 - Clean up your suburb
Was out and about on Sunday.
It was Clean Up Australia Day. Not apparent that anybody was actually cleaning up, and I saw more scrap newspaper in the street than in quite some time.
I know they tend to concentrate on parks and beaches and so on, and often for bigger problems than litter. All the same, might be good to do a Clean Up Your Suburb day every so often.
Last week I picked up three milkshake cups dumped in the next street. That’s not just being careless, that’s deliberate littering, particularly when there was a bin just a few metres away in the park across the street. Like the slobs that put their shoes all over the seats on the train, it narks me a bit that people treat public spaces much worse than they treat their own homes.
