Scene Set: City streets with tons of litter. This is the playground for our children, while many adults step on it, somehow numb to its presence.
Inner dialogue: “What can I do? I can’t do cleanups daily… And I can’t make a difference alone anyway. There are 6,300 miles of streets in New York City, and then there's the rest of the planet…”
The answer arrived in the form of micro-cleanups, meant to offer some sort of comfort.
