Some of the things I do daily are so dead simple they’re almost stupid. Filling the xerox machine with paper when it’s empty. Picking up the chunks of (clean) toilet paper people throw on the bathroom floor. Picking up bits of glass and plastic on trails and sidewalks. None of this is my job–or is it? I see it. I am therefore responsible for it, in some way. I used to go barefoot a lot, and so a long time ago I began picking up the bits of glass that scared me. I’m embarrassed to see the public bathrooms at work in such a state. I wear a uniform, so I am easily identifiable as part of the place.

    Some of the heaviest articles in the world and are always discarded when no longer serving its purpose, especially in public spaces: an empty cigaret packet, an empty plastic softdrink bottle, empty take way food containers, crumpled up chocolate wrappers, and the list goes on. Disgusting.

    I’ve known the BART Station Bard and her partner for many years. A wise woman, that, and well-spoken, indeed. Hope you two meet next time she’s in the UK.

    When I was growing up in England after the war….I was taught by my father always to carry a small paper bag – and pick up any rubbish, put it in the bag and take home….Simple and for the most part England was very clean….however, that has changed, and I hate to see it…Janet.

    Excellent article. Thanks for sharing it, Sue, or I’d never have seen it. I, too, was brought up not to drop litter – everything was put in a waste bin or brought home.
    I’m always puzzled by the clean toilet paper on the floor in public loos.
