I walk down the beach with one pocket full of beautiful stones, and one pocket full of trash washed up by the waves, and it becomes a game. For every piece of beauty I find, I must pick up at least one piece of garbage. Like it’s my duty as a resident of this planet, to leave a place neater than when I arrived.
I also have a deep passion for the beauty of nature, especially the gorgeous beaches of Northern Michigan. As I walked, the phrase Pick up Trash and Treasure in Equal Measure came to me like a mantra, one that I still recite today. We all have the power to change the world, one piece of trash at a time.
