Remembering when Earth Day meant cleaning rivers and picking up litter rather than schmoozing at city hall.
The Idiot (seen here after a river clean up in Valbonne, France, on Earth Day’s 20th anniversary in 1990) always picks up litter on Earth Day.
That is so much more satisfying than the hour he spent yesterday at The Whole Earth and Watershed Festival at the City Hall in Redding, CA.
Do the earth (and yourself) a favor and pick up some trash today!
About Joel
Joel Stratte-McClure has been a global trekker since the 1970s. He lived in France for over 30 years, working as a journalist, before he turned his attention to a unique life-time-project of walking the shores of the Mediterranean. The first 4,401 kilometers are explored in his inspirational and entertaining first book "The Idiot and the Odyssey: Walking the Mediterranean." The next 4,401 kilometers are covered in the gods-filled sequel, "The Idiot and the Odyssey II: Myth, Madness and Magic on the Mediterranean,” published on Valentine's Day 2013. The last 4,401 kilometers will be discussed in the last book of the trilogy currently entitled "The Idiot and the Odyssey III: Alexander the Great Walks the Mediterranean."
