SOMEONE SHOULD DO SOMETHING..and then I realised I was someone.

Meg from Te Kowhai

Dear Neighbours - Are you as fed up as I am when you see all the chucked rubbish in the ditches as you drive through our lovely countryside? Here are 3 pics of the trash I picked up along Crawford Road the last 3 mornings. Mostly alco-pop cans and junk food wrapping - there is a theme here.
So, in the spirit of being part of the solution, I propose that we all adopt a stretch of road and take it upon ourselves to pick up the trash and bin it with our own rubbish.
Now I know YOU didn't biff that trash but unless someone picks it up, it will continue to be an upsetting eyesore each time you drive past. Once you see it, you keep seeing it and it doesn't disappear....'Someone should do something' - yep, and that someone is you and me.

I'm thinking of hitting up our Councillor Noel and asking him to fund a few signs saying 'KEEP THE CAN IN YOUR VAN' or " DON'T BIFF YOUR TRASH, YOUR MOTHER'S WATCHING' or 'DON'T BIFF YOUR SH**'. but he'll probably say no.

Thoughts??

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I dance in the sky with green and gold, a spectacle few are lucky to behold; I’m best seen in the south, a celestial sight—what am I, lighting up the New Zealand night?
