"I found myself running one bright, warm and crisp fall morning. While running, I spotted something shinny on the path. As I got closer, I discovered a crushed Mountain Dew can. I picked it up, examined it and carried it home to recycle, thinking, 'Today, I’m going to make a difference.' For the next 365 consecutive days, I kept a promise I made to Mother Nature and myself. I would pick up, photograph and document one piece (often several) of trash I found interfering with nature. Thus, my project, R-365, became a personal undertaking to leave the places I visited more beautiful than I found them."
