An awesome responsibility

What quote am I vibing?  “The fact is that no species has ever had such wholesale control over everything on Earth, living or dead, as we now have. That lays upon us, whether we like it or not, an awesome responsibility. In our hands now lies not only our own future, but that of all other living creatures with whom we share the Earth." Sir David Attenborough

Pounds of Trash Removed from the Wild since Last Post: 66

Pounds of Trash Removed from the Wild in 2024: 282

All-Time Pounds of Trash Removed from the Wild: 4,014

This tiny summer haul of 66 pounds over three months HAS successfully put me over 4,000 lifetime pounds of trash picked up. That's exciting news, and hopefully inspiration for an active autumn of picking up trash while cooler weather settles in.

It has been a very busy summer, with some wonderful trips to Florida, Outer Banks, and San Francisco (talk about amazing weather...). I look forward to focusing on Charlotte for a little while, and reconnect with my community through walking and cleanups.
