One a day

Pick up one piece of litter on your way somewhere today and bin it.

One piece. Not a clean-up, not a bag and gloves. The crisp packet by the bus stop, the can on the path, the bottle in the hedge. Pick it up, bin it, carry on. It takes ten seconds and it changes how you see a street. You stop being someone who walks past. Do it again tomorrow. If you want company, local litter-picking groups lend equipment and welcome anyone. The habit starts with one.
