What’s the big deal? What difference does this make?
Well, quite a lot actually.
Filth on footpaths is not random. It is part of a predictable daily cycle.
This ‘spot’ is on a 1km long street, and there are
4 other such ‘spots’ on the same street.
Applying a band-aid on this little wound
has cured about 200 feet of bleeding footpath.
The impact is dramatic to those who live and work there.
Absence of litter is noticed only by those
who are used to seeing a place filthy.
We have now applied band-aids to nearby wounds,
and now 500 metres of this footpath looks inviting. People actually walk on it - earlier they used to walk on the street.
