The Way to Happiness is working to inspire all
residents of Nashville and Middle Tennessee with messages to safeguard and
improve the environment.
According to a report by the
U.S. National Park Service, it takes an average of 50 years for the environment
to break down a tin can, 450 years to break down a plastic bottle, and a
million years to break down a glass bottle. This is why the group, The Way to
Happiness, is preparing a series of community cleanup projects in the Nashville
area.
“Every little bit helps,”
says a volunteer for the program, “Plus, we are setting a good example for
others who can then decide to do something to improve the environment.”
The Way to Happiness
Campaign is centered around the book of the same name by L. Ron Hubbard, which is
comprised of 21 precepts, each one predicated on the fact that one’s survival
depends on the survival of others—and that without the survival of others, neither
joy nor happiness are attainable. In the two decades since it was authored,
some 80 million copies of the book passed hand to hand, thus inspiring an international
movement.
One of the concepts in the
booklet is “Safeguard and Improve Your Environment,” and it is this message
which is broadcast during cleanup events.
In Nashville, the local
chapter of The Way to Happiness Foundation offers seminars and free copies of
the booklet. The group also organizes events and cleanups around the city to
help make Nashville a more beautiful and clean environment. For more
