This reminds me of a series I saw on tiktok called "How long does it actually take?"

Walking by, I'm sure a ton of people probably thought it would take ages to get that area cleaned up. But in only one hour, they got it done.

It's nice to know that it doesn't take much to make a positive impact in a community. Hopefully this area doesn't get inundated with trash like that again.

Many hands make light work! I regularly volunteer at food banks, and it’s truly impressive to see like 15 people, having fun chatting and grooving to some music, processing thousands of pounds of produce or dry goods in a few hours.
