Show Notes
Mark Silliman, a 74-year-old from Camas, Washington, has dedicated decades to battling roadside trash. He fills bags with construction debris, household waste, and booze bottles along a 600-foot stretch of Highway 14. His passion for cleanliness stems from his fathers teachings and has evolved into a state-sponsored Adopt-a-Highway program. Silliman now works with the East County Citizens’ Alliance, a Washougal nonprofit, for group cleanups. His hands-on approach to life, from construction to home inspection, has shaped his commitment to environmental stewardship. Despite frustration over recurring litter, Silliman finds joy in the camaraderie and purpose his work provides. He plans to continue until next year, when he and his wife will travel to Italy, showcasing how one persons dedication can inspire change.
