EVIE and more of the same ol’ litter – mar. 23

I found out about EVIE and her owner, Susan Harp, through Keep America Beautiful. EVIE is short for ‘Every Volunteer Is Essential’ and her mission is “keeping the earth looking good in addition to spreading the word.” Susan and EVIE have been doing great things with litter prevention in their town of Evansville, Indiana. I was excited to find out about them and to receive this book in the mail yesterday. It’s quite cute and a great teaching tool for kids. They’re also being featured in an upcoming interactive web page through WNIN, Evansville’s local PBS station. It’s been great connecting with like minded people and learning about the great work they do. Click on the photo above to check out EVIE’s Facebook page and become her friend.

Now, on to ‘more of the same.’ As you’ll recall in my last post, Sunday I found a large white trash bag filled with 53 beer cans. Well, yesterday on my walk with Homer, we spotted another similar batch of litter a few blocks to the north of our house. This time it was 19 beer cans and 1 beer bottle. Looks like someone’s been having a good time in the hood. At least they kept the litter contained in a bag, but they’re still morons for littering!

Here’s the approach to the beer can litter. At least most of the cans made it in the bag.
