One 24-Year-Old Cleaned His Block for 100 Days Straight. Now His Neighbors Won't Let Him Stop.
For 100 days, 24-year-old New Yorker Adam Oved spent $40 on gloves, bags and a litter picker and cleaned the same stretch of his Washington Heights block, often starting before sunrise. Neighbors noticed, then joined in, and the solo routine grew into regular group cleanups with shared tools and newly planted flower beds. The block now has a volunteer crew that maintains it, and Oved says the project has kept going without him having to organize every session.
