What up, y’all? It’s me, ya boy, PaperCutter #82.
Picking up trash on the streets of Portland was not how I’d planned to spend my 38th birthday… But I also didn’t think it’d be my second birthday celebrated during a global pandemic. Yet those are the facts.
The truth is agreeing to collect trash on my birthday was something a commendable version of myself acceded to. The less praiseworthy and (to be quite honest) more day-to-day version of Employee #82 dreaded the occasion with increasing alarm.
SOLVE: taking care of Oregon
More recently, I volunteered to pick up trash in downtown Portland for the third time this year.
Why? I’m glad you asked.
I’ll start by actually thanking SOLVE, the organization whose mission is to unite Oregonians by improving our environment and building a legacy of stewardship. Litter collection in the city is only one manifestation of what SOLVE encourages. Some loyal readers are familiar with PaperCut’s first SOLVE outing earlier this year.
