Michelle Newby and her daughters, Danielle (5), and Nicole (3) are doing their part to help clean up the desert. A few weeks ago we came across these "cruising kids" near Competition Hill at Buttercup. They'd drive a few feet, stop, get out, pick some things up, then get back in and complete the whole process again.

After watching these curious actions for a while, we investigated further and discovered that they were picking up aluminum cans and putting them in a large trash bag they carried with them.

Soon, 5 year old Danielle will be riding her own three-wheeler. It will be purchased with the money they've collected from aluminum cans found while camping in the desert.

Congratulations and thanks to these three, Michelle, Danielle, and Nicole, for helping themselves and others by picking up trash in the desert.

Now, how about the rest of us?
