A Dog Park Full of Trash

I recently moved, and as of yesterday, I can't stand to just walk around and let all this easily disposable trash consume not only the streets, but also our water sources. As a result, I'm going to do what I can to make a difference. Yes one person may not seem to be much of a help when it comes to fixing all the damage evolution has brought to our world, BUT I'm still going to try. I'm not going to quit a week from now either. I'd dedicating my LIFE to working towards an environment where people can walk their pets without stepping on other's trash, a world where we don't have to worry about consuming chemicals or artificial hormones that don't only hurt animals and plants we eat but effect us. I want to help clean the air, so it's breathable everywhere. I want to improve my quality of life while trying to help others. One person CAN make a difference when it comes to encouraging others to contribute towards making a better environment for us now and other generations down the road.
Currently, I take the public clean air hybrid bus, do most of my work to sunlight during the day and limit how long I use electricity for lighting during the evenings, I refuse to get a television and/or a microwave, recycle and use a home made composting bin, and purchase as much food as I can from the local Farmers market in which I bring my own reusable bags. To clarify though, I'm not stating that I'm not impacting the environment. I'm just doing little things to try and live a comfortable life without consuming too much products that harm the environment. I'm basically trying to watch what I do while cleaning up random garbage and sorting it whenever I take my dog on walks.
Frankly, I'm just really sick of living in a dump knowing that if I don't help clean up the trash, I might either be eating it later or eventually it will end up in a landfill. At the average rate of consumption, we're headed down an irreversible path we could've prevented if we tried.
Everyone can try, and who knows, we just might be able to help clean up the world ourselves one piece of garbage at a time! :)
