Clean Up Our Land, One Trail at a Time

How One Man Moved Mountains

From

A Chinese proverb states "It is possible to move a mountain by carrying away small stones."

Tim Huber, a banker from Scottsdale, Arizona, moved a 7-ton mountain of trash from Four Peaks Road in six hours. No, he didn’t do it alone—he had about 250 helpers. So, how did Huber find 250 people to just drop what they were doing on a beautiful Saturday and go pick up trash that others had left?

Huber’s story is an inspiration to any of us who have ever shaken our heads at litter strewn along a road wondering what we, one person, could possibly do about it.
