Birthday 20k
I was so close to hitting 20k pieces of trash; I thought it would feel good to reach the milestone on my birthday.
So, as odd as it may sound, that’s what I did earlier this week. I picked up 541 pieces of trash around two blocks, but was still 207 pieces shy of 20k.
It was dark and I was hungry, but I wanted to push a little harder. I brought a bag along for my walk to the bar that night. I stuck to picking up mostly smaller pieces - cigarette butts are so satisfying to pick up with the tongs (even though I prefer they were not littered in the first place).
I knew I wouldn’t struggle to find trash walking six blocks west. I hit this number, plus an additional 108 pieces before reaching my destination, picking up 856 pieces of trash for the day.
My hands were freezing by the time I was done, which put me in the mood for a warm beverage.
I ordered a hot spiced cider with Tuaca, whipped cream, and nutmeg. It hit the spot and warmed me up.
My warm birthday drink. Cheers!
It felt good to complete the goal; to be done searching for litter for the day, to sit back and people watch a bit, and to finally eat some food.
