It's interesting how people react first when you start acting different, doing little things like picking up garbage you didn't throw on the ground.

Even my kids went: Why are YOU picking this up, you didn't do it?

I just ask: Why not ME?

After some of similar experiences my kids asked to help and they were so excited when a friend of my wife bought them trash tongs to help me.

It's not that I'm proudly making the world a better place by doing something very difficult (like in the movie Pay it forward), but just doing small things that aren't difficult to do. Somehow it feels nice.
