Simplicity is the answer to all our problems. Maybe we should live the obvious and stop waiting for the unobvious to happen? This idea formed when I was walking to and from work and wondered what would happen if we all picked up rubbish whilst out on walks and runs. Rather than rant about the litter in the corner we picked it up on the way to work or whilst out on a walk or run. Rather than relying on the council to be our servants we do this work ourselves and take the credit. This idea was submited to the global ideas bank and I got quite a few responses. I've tried to do this but always feel a bit embarrsed and ashamed of what I'm doing, but do try to do it every so often. But let's all take a hand and make the world pretty again. We could have a website showing what litter people have found and was any resusable. Talk to me and we'll build a site that makes the world litter free. Taking this further wonder if we could ask the homeless to pick up litter and get food

You have a dirty white van that someone has kindly written "Clean Me" into the dirt. I want to take this further and ask artists around the world to stop and create some art work in the dirt, bring the filth to light and make people smile. So when I wake up and look out of the window, rather than seeing the normal dirty white van, there in front of me is a master piece made from the dirt. Artists , you are missing a canvas which everyone can enjoy. Graffiti artists , you can practise some new styles with a cloth and some water. White van owners why not ask an artist to draw your company name in the dirt with style. Send me your pictures and I'll post them on this page.
