Birding idea of the day:

My friend Charlie often would go birding with a large trash bag tucked into a pocket. He would fill it with trash found wherever we were — along a road, at a park, on a beach — and haul it home. Charlie believed he had an obligation to give as well as receive.

Great idea! I keep a plastic bag in my car to collect bottles and cans I find around parking lots. Maybe if collecting trash for recycling could become a new way to offset your carbon footprint, more would be encouraged to do it.
