(CE)2 has adopted a highway: Highway 99W from McDonald to Highway 217 in Tigard. Our first trash pickup was today, and since school's out for the summer, just five of us were there to clean the entire 2-mile stretch (4 miles, really, since we scour both sides of the road). Fortunately, my mom also helped for a couple hours (and scored our group free Frappucinos!)
For 6.5 hours, my group donned brightly colored reflective vests and picked up tiny pieces of trash, including more cigarette butts than I could ever count. If you're one who chucks your butts out the car window or drops them on the sidewalk before boarding a bus, please reconsider. Seriously. It's rude and disgusting, and, contrary to popular belief, it really is littering. Two (CE)2ers picking up trash today are smokers. They each vowed to never again flick their butts. YAY!
