Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
"One piece at a time and it won't cost me a dime" - litter free in 2009?
As the immortal Johnny Cash might have said, lets do it 'one piece at a time'
An American project asks us to imagine
"what if 100,000 people picked up one piece of litter each day? How might the world change? What if you did... how might you feel about yourself?
You are invited to participate and make a tangible, daily difference in the world. We are all in it together. . . pick up a piece every day."
Well a HOL version might say, what if a thousand people in Harringay a day picked up a bit of litter. How might Harringay change?
They believe success will be
"the day when 100,000 individuals, after looking around for a piece of trash to pick up and finding none, ask themselves “what’s next?!”
Me? I've started: I Uncluttered an old party dish which is off to the charity shop and threw away a load of junk from a drawer yesterday.
I removed a wrapper from the pavement this morning
So Unclutter 1 good; Litter picked up 1 good ( in the spirit of Bridget Jones)

I will chart my own progress with this on Twitter. Follow me and give me a hard time if I fail!

I had a similar idea a few years back after I got so frustrated with people dropping litter and the council not keeping on top of it (in Archway this time) and I started picking up litter each day. It made me feel a lot better that I was doing something to improve my local area and I hoped that anyone seeing me doing it would feel inspired to at least pick up one piece of rubbish when they saw it. Not sure if it worked out like that, but it definitely stopped my moaning and made me feel more positive about the problem...
I'm tracking your progress on Twitter Liz and am joining you in charting my success' from today. I hope we'll be able to motivate each other and get many more involved. People power rocks!
