doing good things for the human race is important to both sarah and i. we walked today in the 23rd annual Boston aids walk. it was my 5th time and sarah's second. we walked last year (sortof). it is such a good feeling.
my only rant and rave is that even on this event where you look around and say, wow so many people care!" we still saw a boy throw a plastic bottle right into the river, without even a hesitation or a second thought. and we saw many walkers simply leave trash at their feet as they walked. there were trash cans set up all along the walk... it was just too much to carry an ice cream wrapper from a FREE ice cream an extra 20 yards. come on people!
In caring about other people we must also care about the earth. where will our children grow up when the continent is a trash dump? worse yet, the money they could have raised for aids research has to go to some poor soul to pick up the trash left behind by the "good people" who walked.
act locally, think globally.
