Since beach and trail cleanups are off the table this year, my daily allotted neighborhood exercise doubled as an observation of #EarthDay https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">.

As our appreciation for our home grows and our habits evolve, I hope one day there won’t be any trash to pick up. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏" title="Folded hands" aria-label="Emoji: Folded hands">

(You might think there’s nothing to clean on closed beaches and trails, but sadly old trash remains in some places and new trash is still coming in via wind and water.

Also, my cleanup gear is clearly not the most eco-friendly itself, but we do what we can with what we have...)

I like to do this as often as possible, but on Earth Day it’s a special tradition I wanted to keep going even with everything else going on this year…
