Coffee Walkee Grocery Bag Ring

<p>Look, here’s the thing. Back in January 2021, I started taking morning walks before work.</p><p>These were mostly “inspired” by my friend Andy, who just got a new Apple Watch and was convinced that all of his buddies needed to work off their post-pandemic weight.</p><p>He wasn’t wrong.</p><p>It took me awhile to notice it, but my whole neighborhood was slowing being overrun by old icky discarded PPE.</p><p>Masks, gloves, face shields, you name it.</p><p>After a few months of seeing this gross, upsetting rubbish I decided to take a stand and I decided to fix it.</p><p>As most of my projects start, this one began with a 3D model, uploaded to share with other folks with 3D printers. I designed and printed a grocery bag holder that would give me a bit of distance from the used PPE (ew) I was picking up with the trash grabber claw I ordered online.</p><p>Now when I take my morning walk, I pick up a few things. I’m not cleaning up every street, I’m not saving the world. But I think little by little I can make a difference in the streets and neighborhoods I visit every morning.</p><p>If you like what I’m doing and think it’s a good idea, grab a bag and do the same in your community. It seems cliche to say, but together we can make a difference.</p><p>Posting more designs and recording my cleanups at http://coffeewalkee.com</p>
