If you look at the Leave No Trace Tracker, you'll see events with 10, 20, even 30+ people. Some of these events picked up upwards of 20 bags of trash. This is phenomenal! But not every community is big enough to run an event like this. Smaller communities, like the one in Calumet City, Illinois, hold Leave No Trace events too. John "NoRush" Conway ran one with his friend. They went to one of their training grounds, and picked up one bag of trash each.

Smaller events like this are more important than bigger ones. Huge communities can organize huge events, but there are many more small communites than there are large ones.  If fifty small communities of one or two people pick up two bags of trash, that's 100 bags of trash that no longer pollutes our city streets. 

John Conway - American Parkour commends you for your efforts, and knows that you continue to do a great job representing Parkour.
