May is mental health awareness month. Mental Health is a complex issue. That said, I have always found that exercise, fresh air, feelings of accomplishment, and being around others have promoted mental health in my life. It may sound silly but working with others, outside, making a tangible difference by picking up litter makes me feel good. I leave more grateful then when we start. Knowing others spend their free time helping their communities and combating a major issue is encouraging.
Feel free to join us May 15th for our next group litter pick up event.
