two volunteers

picking up litter early one morning last week.  It's too bad we need people like these to keep the roads and footpaths cleaned.   We thank you!

  1. Hola Bill, deberíamos ser más limpios y no tirar las cosas al suelo.
    Feliz semana.

  3. Bill I am always impressed when I see in your photos a perfectly clean Ireland. Over here where I live there are people that leave their trash any place they feel like it.

  4. As you say, it's a sad reflection on society that they need to do it, but kudos to them for taking on the task.

  5. It is sad that people have to do this. Here if we get caught we have to pay a fine.

  10. Hello,
    It would be nice if the littering was stopped. I am thankful for the volunteers.
    Have a great day and happy new week!

  11. We need fines for littering, just how do that. Also dog poo...
    I fail to understand what´s going on in some people´s minds.

  13. I know what you mean. As the snow disappears here, we do the same across the island. Sad but necessary.

  18. It looks as though they've been very thorough. Our village employs a man to pick litter up and there are many others, like myself, who help out from time to time.

  19. It's good that we have volunteers to pick up garbage. It would be much better if people didn't throw their garbage all over the place.

  21. Thank you to people like the two volunteers in your perfectly composed photo, Bill. I also wish there was no need for anyone to pick up litter. Yesterday I overtook a stationary bus; as his fares alighted, the driver threw an empty takeout punnet out of his window. I couldn't help it: I blasted the hooter ; immediately thinking how my dear hubby would admonish me for antagonizing a busload of people while I am an elderly woman driving past on my own. Thank you for your visits to my blog. Have a great day. Jo

  22. That's really good that there are people that will do that.

  23. Are they volunteers? If so, they really deserve an award.
    Today we had a strong tropical storm, after days of yellow skies, with a lot of dust depositing coming from Africa.
    Good and happy spring days, Bill.

  24. Volunteers like that make Ireland look so clean and liter free, and beautiful. Not the same everywhere, and that's a shame.

  25. Agree with you
    But they do a very good job

  26. Lo propio sería, que cada persona que pasa por la calle, echara los desperdicios, en las papeleras habilitadas, con tal fín.

    Besos

  27. Yes, what good people. We did that for a couple years on our road, until we both developed knee issues. I'd like to try again though. We see a lady who walks miles every day picking up litter along a highway. She's thin as a rail, and will probably live forever. Such a nice person.

  28. Everywhere people throw rubbish on the streets and roads.

    But we need to educate the population to prevent this from happening.

    Bill, have a nice week.

    Greetings.

  30. Great people!

    My son recently volunteered at a beach cleaning campaign.

    Happy Monday, Bill!

  31. We need such people to teach others about cleanliness.

  32. I'm glad they are there; sad we need them.

  33. Felizmente o altruísmo ainda existe! São factos assim que me restituem alguma fé na humanidade...
    Adorei ver! Um grande abraço!
