Each day I turned left at a stop sign and passed the white wall of a liquor store covered in graffiti - bad words, gang signs and all! Elementary school children walking past twice a day... I decided I couldn't drive past it again. I raised $2k from local businesses, obtained permission from the building owner, worked with local land conservation groups and created an amazing mural about our local watershed that was painted by the children walking past the wall every day. Six years later it is still 100% graffiti free! We can take action as an individual to inspire a community to come together as one. We can see every day ways to improve our surroundings and all it takes is the original idea and action.
