I live in a city, in some "in-development" neighbourhoods, we have to get out our recycling bag/bin every Monday morning for the city to pick it up...
Since I have to get up for work on weekdays near around 5-5:30am, I get to witness some people digging in the recycling bins/bags that people leave out for the pick-up, in order to find some empty beverage 5/10 cents consigned cans or plastic bottles...
I thought to myself the risk they get to get cut from broken glasses or sharped metal cans must be huge... Then...
Months ago I've decided to prepare two different kind of recycling bags: One for the "recycling pick-up" and another which would only be filled up with consigned cans or plastic bottles and be taken out once full and one the same recycling day...
Success it keeps to be, I've been thanked twice already and have "secretly" witnessed the gratitude on these unfortunate people's faces, once they arrive to dig in one of my bags and realizes it is only full of what they were hoping to find.
With this particular act of kindness, I've witnessed that some of these persons are my own neighbours and it had given me a will of wanting to do much more for my community/neighbourhood as one simple act of kindness like the one I did could reach and help so many, I thank you Kindness.org for putting this website available to all of us and giving another extra chance for kindness to roll all around the world! 💙
