Picking up the trash

We need to start taking care of the world we live in, not just the animals and people but the environment.  We can all do our part by picking up the trash.  I understand there are about 300,000 pieces of trash circling our planet, let's find a way to clean it up.  How about picking up the trash everyday where you walk or travel - it takes just a little effort to pick up the trash and discourage people from continuing this very bad habit - there are recepticles everywhere and if not carry a bag with you and start picking up the stuff yourself.
