    I love photography. When I was in elementary school, I took some courses at the Audubon Society on nature photography and was hooked. Years later, after my children were born, I started playing with the 35mm again, then got in the ease of digital. Someday -- once I have completed my MFA -- I hope to go back and take some courses on digital photography, get a really good camera, and start some serious picture taking. In the meantime, I try to get out whenever possible and experiment. Here are some images from a special autumn day I managed to sneak away and take a meditational hike along a trail in a nearby state forest. For the first time, I started to play with some of the settings instead of just a point-and-shoot approach.

I like your idea of putting trash cans out at neighborhood bus stops and other places where groups of people congregate. Of course, the trash collection companies would need to cooperate with that, but I don't think it would be too difficult to add a few more stops to their route. Innsbruck, Austria, had NO problem with garbage on their streets or in the woods. I think part of that was because they stressed recycling so much. (you were fined if you didn't put your trash in the right container) But also, they had wastebaskets set up at every bus stop, on corners and also attached to the poles of streetsigns.

I said it before, but I'm going to say it again because I REALLY like this idea: use your own shopping basket or canvas bags when shopping, instead of taking the plastic or paper bags from stores. Think of how much that would save!
