Like the graphic references, this is a worldwide trash clean-up and virtual run... WITH PRIZES! {I know, I know, like the majority of you, I am "over" virtual runs, but until we can make IRL happen safely again, this is what we will have to do.}
On Tuesday, March 16th, participants around the world will be joining together for a run/ walk/ stroll/ hike with the intention to pick up trash seen along their chosen route -- whether it be around their neighborhood, a trail or city streets.
On our recent trip to Joshua Tree I was being a "Stewie" (what a friend calls a "trail steward") and picked up a ton of trash when we were less than 20 yards from a dumpster... Good thing I had my mask on or you might have seen my "whoever left this trash laying around in nature SUCKS" face in full effect ;) |
All proceeds from online registration donations will go to The Greenbelt Movement, an environmental organization that empowers communities, particularly women, to conserve the environment and improve livelihoods. Every registrant who donates at least $1 and officially registers {using THIS LINK} will also be entered into a raffle for prizes!
Another tip/ request - if the trash container you want to use is full, please take said garbage with you! Wildlife WILL get into the dumpsters/ bags. #PackInPackOut |
FYI - This is NOT the type of glove I am talking about... but it is a glove I found discarded on a dog walk in Joshua Tree that I picked up and threw out. |
