20 minutes!

Howard County's 20 minute cleanup is a day where everyone is urged to go outside and spend 20 minutes picking up trash in their neighborhood, near their business, or pretty much anywhere in the county. It's good timing, because who doesn't want to be outside for at least 20 minutes this time of year? And, while you're out there, wouldn't you rather gaze out over a beautiful scenic view, rather than a trash covered one?

I clean up around my place all the time, and you probably do too. So why not take the challenge a little more public and clean up a spot that is very visible, but perhaps doesn't get as much attention? Plus, if we do it as a group, it'll be more fun! Right? In the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee, you can use more than just your sparkling wit to make the county shine.

I'll be at the Dobbin Starbucks at 6:30 this coming Thursday the 14th with a big box of trash bags.  Come spend 20 minutes picking up trash and beautifying what some would call Columbia's Main Street. Invite your readers. Bring friends or the family and join me for dinner afterward at Fuddruckers. After we wash our hands, of course.

Spread the word!
