Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Inspired by a Gentleman from Japan


--by oliv90, posted Apr 29, 2015
Everyday on my way to work I choose to get out at bus stop that is a 10-minute walk away from the office. The sidewalk I use is not very busy in the morning compared to in the afternoon when many joggers and mothers with their baby carts use it. Every time I see some litter, I recall a video I watched about a gentleman from Japan that every morning walks his neighborhood just to pick up litter. I do the same-- as soon as I see some litter in that sidewalk, I collect it and put it in the trash can. This way, my fellow passersby can enjoy the beautiful trees and birds.
