The Latest News & Views from KMB
More and more everyday products are now designed to be replaced rather than repaired. This phenomenon is known as “planned obsolescence.” But local Repair Cafes can give items a second or third life and reduce the volume of so-called trash that unnecessarily ends up in landfills or incinerators.
People who volunteer to pick up trash constitute a particularly pleasant swath of humanity. They’re generous, cheerful, civic-minded…and they DON’T litter! Maybe human beings aren’t so bad after all!
When we teach children not to litter, to leave a park cleaner than they found it, or to pick up a stray bottle that isn't theirs, we're teaching much more than environmental stewardship. We're teaching responsibility. Pride. Respect. Empathy. We're showing them that they have the power to leave the world just a little better than they found it.
