@JanePitt I laughed and laughed. But to be fair I have not been to any city other than Houston in the last couple years. Still I can totally believe we are cleaner than Philly. ๐
@mdvana@JanePitt Sadly the trash starts coming back in hours in some cases. But some roads we do there is a little less trash from year to year. Itโs a tiny and rare victory.
@JanePitt I find myself wishing mildly bad things on litterers, like, I hope you felt chest pains and feared you were having a heart attack (when I pick up a McD's tossed bag). No wish for the actual attack, though.๐
@jasonstanley457@JanePitt I can report back that it was crazy on Saturday. There were times we did not move for a few minutes. Lines were crazy long. Even parking was bad. I would go back but not on a Saturday afternoon.
The numbers from our Earth Day cleanup in Verona are in! 2,500 lbs of trash and 12 tires were removed from the Allegheny River shoreline and Allegheny River Blvd last Saturday. Thank you to all our volunteers & our event partners @publiclandsshop & @patagonia!
@AlleghenyCW@FriendsRvrFront Great first tournament! The Penn Hills Litter Avengers are fired up. If there was an award for most enthusiastic during the first tournament, we can see who should get that. ๐
Litter League Neighborhoods Division is under way! Teams representing Fineview, Beechview, Mt Lebanon & Penn Hills are picking the streets of Sharpsburg clean. @FriendsRvrFront
@JanePitt@gainey_ed I cleaned up this beautiful road in Penn Hills with 11 others on Saturday. When I drove on it 7 hours later, there was already a bottle and a bag. No doubt more now. Itโs frustrating, but Iโm going to continue pickups because I canโt stand to see trash
Mmhmm. I have been so unproductive today. When I got that initial alert, I stopped breathing. And when I read that someone said 6 people had been shot at CC, I lost it. That was an awful hour. Ah humanity.
Within minutes there were pretty strong indications that this was a false alarm. But the fear and uncertainty and the lockdowns and the disruption drag on and on. And a scar tissue forms with each of these little murders of the soul.
