This is what I did, though not for earth day. AFAIC earth day is for wimps. Donot attempt to do in one day or one weekend what you cannot or will not do all year long. Can't do squat when it's snowing, true. But I don't wait until earth day to do my gig.

And finally this one. A bit big, my apologies Denise.
I do this whenever I can. I go out, pick up litter, THEN I go prospecting. A peaceful kind of tit-for-tat. I clean up litter and people have yet to complain about me panning. OTOH, if I just go panning, people will ask the town admin if it's permitted. As he told me once, after I get thelitter, it's kind of "earned". I can still pan if I want, but who's gonna complain? No one, yet.
FWIW those bags I got while in Idaho Springs for the Miner's rally. Russ, Geno, Leonard, JAW, the rest of you- recall when I was picking up the litter from the Barbour Forks campground area? Well, the USFS and Clear Creek County saw it as did one of the guys working at the CO-DOT shed in Hidden Valley. So I not only got a "premier" tour of the garbage transfer station (honestly, I really did enjoy it and got pics if you want), got free garbage dumping for both personal trash and stuff I picked up, but the CO-DOT supervisor gave me a box of those neat heavy duty bags. Nothing to you, but since I do this a lot it saves me money. Fair trade I think. I don't think I'm gonna run out of bags for another 5-6 years, if then!

carl that is a extreamly good example of what we all need (and im sure everyone does this anyway) to do not only when we are out prospecting ! you set a extreamly good example and standard for all of us to follow! my hat is off to you carl! its great that the co-dot and the fs saw your example of civic pride!

Thanks for the compliment, Russ. I do what I can because too many people can't or won't.
