I came across this little item and cannot help but see the relationship between what we do each and every day and the planet's dilemma. From my way of thinking (and I know that everyone does not share this view) all of life emanates from each individual person and coalesces into what we know and agree upon as reality. Therefore if we want things to change globally it is up to each of us to transform ourselves personally.Each instance of litter is an example, a reminder if you will, of something that needs to be paid attention to. Picking it up and encouraging that practice on the level of community is needed action. Litter then, is the signifier of larger issues that can be addressed by individual action.
Breathe deeply.
