Can you believe tomorrow is New Year's Day? If you do resolutions or reflect on your future, N&O has had some great stories. Bruce Clarke article on 12/28 is thought provoking: "Ask yourself what you want, then map out how to get there."

Did you see great N&O article on C1 about teaching kids to be thankful? Wonder if there is a way to adapt something like this to teach kids (and adults) to respect others and not litter?

My Mother's funeral service was yesterday, and it got me to thinking even if someone is terminally ill, how unprepared and shocked you can be about death. Time is short. It's important to re-evaluate your goals in life NOW and ask yourself if you are doing everything you need to do to achieve your goals. Hope everyone is happy and headed in the direction they want to be. I am glad for the work we have accomplished at Big Sweep and hope that this fall's cleanups moves us significantly closer to a litter-free environment. Together we can do this! Thanks.

Issues with my teeth have me thinking a lot about quality of life. And improving the quality of life for everyone in NC that NC Big Sweep does in its work for a litter-free environment. It's a shame that wildlife and yes people are hurt by litter. It would be a huge shame if Big Sweep could not provide supplies and support for local cleanups. If everyone gave a little $, it could have a huge impact. So please link to last post and give now. Thanks!!
