The Mid Ohio Atheists (in Mansfield) recently adopted a two-mile stretch of highway — Interstate 71, between mile markers 166 and 168 — and they recently did their second cleanup:
It took about 3 hours to do the cleanup and get everyone back off the interstate. Many of us went to a local fast food restaurant for lunch afterwards.
I want to thank everyone that participated, it’s people like you that will put a positive face on atheism for the world to see. For those with open minds, it shows that helping and serving others is a human thing, not a god thing.
We need to do 2 more cleanups before the end of the season in October. The next pickup will be September 10th and the last one for this year will be October 22nd.
If you’re in the area, and you’d like to help out in the future, you can get updates on their blog or Facebook page. Here’s hoping they get an even bigger group together for their next cleanup!
On a side note, they just had a picnic over the weekend and had an excellent turnout. We need more groups like this!
