My earth-loving six year old daughter planned our family home evening tonight. "Mom," she said, "Since I love the earth I want to take care of it, and I have a great idea how. Let's pick up trash by the gas station with the 'K' (that's Circle K). "
And so we did.
Even Isabelle, who despises being sweaty had a great time. "This is fun, " she said.
I'm a proud mama.
I was inspired while we were picking up the garbage. There was so much trash that filling up 3 trash bags didn't even make a dent, but my girls were not discouraged. I was thinking that to remedy this problem there should be a National Pick Up Trash Day when kids around the country rally their family members, church groups, soccer teams etc. to spend an hour picking up trash on the side of the road.
The earth would be a much cleaner place.
Think about it.

Love the idea! My little guy is all about cleaning up the earth too! He already tells his friends when they throw trash on the ground that it's "not nice to the earth" and he will pick it up and will throw it away! Got to love kids!
