Activist busy removing posters

Local enviromental problem, removing graffitti (including advertisements/flyers) from my neighborhood keeps me from activism on more important issues.

I am 56 years old, and have much experience in activism. I am living on disability, and would love to focus on important issues of the day. My time and energy is used, instead, removing posters (yes, from groups opposed to the coming war, crappy bands and bars that cater to those who listen to them are but a few of the posters). Recently, after talking with one of the folks at organize pittsburgh, from their number on their website, I am convinced my time will be wasted in the daunting task of local enviromental cleanup.
You can help get this activist back onto the important issues of the day, simply by posting flyers in places that the owners give permission. It's quite easy, most businesses will allow you to post them in their windows. Why be part of a serious problem, when you could have an ally in the solution?
