My Little Big Thing

Once a month on the fourth Friday, people in my neighborhood have an opportunity to put actions to words. The social media is filled with those who insist that the world is headed for destruction and their view of politics, social justice or environmental issues are the only path of solvation. Yet, somehow, it always requires the intervention of government or the complete change of the lifestyles of others. But show me where a person spends their money, their time and their efforts, and I will show you where their true beliefs lie.
As Calvin and I walk through the neighborhood on recycle day, I notice the lack of the recyle bins the city provides for citizens to reduce the amount of trash that goes into the landfill. It is not a difficult process; residents have only to place anything on the recycle list in the bin and roll it out to the curb where it is collected. Just regard the photos; our container is filled with the recyclable discards of one month of two people living average lives. If everyone in our community took a few minutes each month to reclaim the materials that can have a second use, there would be far less waste covered over in the landfill.
Life is made up of a collection of little things and we are defined by them. I would encourage people to do the little things of life before they insist others do the big things. By doing so, they will be the ones to accomplish big things.
