Pam Sorrentino sorts garbage and recycling in her South Royalton, Vt., garage after cleaning up the roadsides in town on Thursday, March 31, 2022. “I walk anyway and I really don’t like the trash, so instead of moaning, I figured I’d do something about it,” said Sorrentino, who sewed her own reusable bag which took her only about 20 minutes to fill on one of her three trips out on that morning. “I have a walk that’s more for my spirit and my soul in the woods,” she said.
