Keep BC clean eh?

So the other day when Susy and I were out on one of our tourist Challenges we were walking through downtown. Now they have these free newspapers here that they hand out at every skytrain station. So of course people take them because how can you say no to something thats free. Anyways if they don't want it they throw it away, well they normally throw it on the ground if theres no garbage can around. So when we walked by the Waterfront Skytrain station the ground was littered with pages from one of these papers and they were blowing around. At this point I didn't do anything but walk by them like everyone else. Two hours later we walk by the same place again and the same papers are all over the ground. Now I can't take it anymore and as we go I stop and pick up all the paper and throw them away. Now heres the ironic part of it, the last paper was the centre page and it was open on the ground. It was a picture of a beautiful green forest landscape stretched out as far as you could see, and the head line was "BEAUTIFUL BRITISH COLUMBIA". Its amazing that probably thousands of people walked by that page and never thought they could do their part to keep it beautiful just by picking up that one piece of paper. Two hours before I was one of those people, not anymore.
