Two Hands, Four Hands
Hi Friends,
I was joined by my friend, Francine, today who had alerted me to a litter "hot spot" at the East Natick Industrial Park. All you need is a vacant building, Oak St. busy traffic, a parking lot, and look what you get.
This constituted our "Four Hands Project." Not bad for an hour's work. Note the depressing amount of single use styrofoam containers, plastic, beer, wine, etc. We have a lot of work to do.
"Two Hands Project": Earlier I spent about 45 minutes on the Oak St. Bridge and embankments approaching the Mass Pike; similar results. Breaks through as Natick's 25th and 26th on the "Dirty Two Dozen" List. Have to come up with another label.
But here's the truth: all we need is about another 20 volunteers and we can make Natick the First Trash-Free Community in Massachusetts in 2014. It can be done. I'm not talking about a town with no commerce, fast food, convenience stores, few people and few roads. I'm talking about an average community like Natick (here we are about 13 miles west of Boston, 33,000 people, plenty of roads, fast food and convenience stores). If we can do it, anyone can. --Pat
