So, when I was a kid, I was profoundly impacted by this powerful video. I remember, after watching this, I made a conscious decision about being more aware of what I was doing with my own garbage. I still think about this video once in awhile and wonder if it had an impact on others as well.

On Thursday, Doug and I were driving through one of the more beautiful and upscale local parks on our way home from my parent's house and we were both struck by the amount of garbage that was scattered about the grounds. It was pathetic! I can't believe that in this environmentally conscientious day and age, we are still throwing garbage out the windows of our cars. This sparked a conversation about this very timeless video and how moving it is/was. I think it should be aired again. So, I am posting this here and maybe somehow this will encourage people to be more aware of their actions. I am certain that NONE of the people that I have in my friend network need to be reminded of this but this is just one way of reaching out to the people of this planet; so, to my friends...... Sorry, I do know that I am preaching to the choir, so to speak, but perhaps you will at least enjoy the nostalgia of this video.

Keep America Beautiful!
