I am raising a little liter police. Everywhere we go she is constantly picking up other people's trash, no matter what it is. An adorable problem to have really. On one hand I don't want to discourage the picking up, it is a very responsible and helpful thing to do, BUT it is also really gross! Today she was walking around at lunch picking up scraps of food off the floor at McDonalds. YUCK! At some point Avery and I may have to discuss her liter picking up. For now I am hoping she can be a good example and maybe we will leave parks, trails and restuarants a little bit better than we found them!

Each week, there will be a fifth, Featured Blog to be followed as well. To qualify to be the Featured Blog, you will need to participate in all of the guidelines. I will pick one at random from all qualifiers. I will email you the Monday before the Hop, if you are chosen.

OMG! In have litter police too! My boys not only make sure our family doesn't litter, but they get very upset when they see strangers littering! They actually give strangers dirty looks! But I commend your kids and mine, this world will be theirs soon so they should take care of it!

Me too, both my kids pick everything from the ground and take it to the bin. It was so funny when we were travelling to a country where there was lots of rubbish on the ground. And there was my son, 18 months at the time, picking everything up and taking it to the bin. The local people found it so amazing!

my oldest girls school did a no trash left behind (they have a green school rating) and found 8 bags! 8 BAGS!!! someone in the neighborhood next to the school/church is using the land as a dumping ground.
I'm so proud of all the 4th graders for picking up all that trash!!!

I think I would tell the kids that someone at McD's is paid to clean that up and that it is our responsibility to keep our table as neat and tidy as possible......yuck.
