2.19 Urban heroes

These lady and gentlemen are not relative or spouses: they belong to a group that takes care of a park that the poor administration of the Municipality of Rome is letting go. A very civilized way to revolt!
The last shot of the fiveplustwo-rebellion theme. What will the future bring?

[Helen Jane]

Heroes indeed. They look content in their heroism. Good to see the community spirit in action.

[Walks @ 7]

We (humanity) need more souls such as these so we can learn what it means to be responsible to the whole and not just to and for ourselves.

[Krista Marson]

There needs to be more pride in community like that in the world.

@helenhall @joysabin @blueberry1222 thank you. I think we need some more of these "littl" acrs of everyday heroism...

[Lockarec]

Building up a community is much better than tearing it down. The example they set will ripple in ways they may not see for years. Well done...you and them!

[Claes]

Great initiative! There is some seventies Americana over this capture. Like a photo from the suburbs of some larger city - could be from "Back to the future" (this is also meant as a compliment Domenico (-: )

[Domenico Dodaro]

@runner365 thank you very much, my friend!

[Caroline]

Nice shot of these great people; I love what they're doing! They count as one of the "faith in humanity restored" stories, and that's always incredibly heart-warming!

[Domenico Dodaro]

@kerosene So very true!

dear to my heart, picking up trash 👍

@bfairfield In Rome, a daily issue for a few of us civilized citizens...

[Margo Sayer]

A couple of years ago we stayed in a small town with a lovely country park. I was impressed to see 2 adults and circa 12 5-7 year old children picking up litter with great brio. Wonderful eco-warriors - yes, yet am saddened that our society is so Gung Ho.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@s4sayer I fully agree... Sad.
