Excerpt from this Mother Nature Network story:

Members of a Muslim youth group spent the weekend collecting trash and otherwise cleaning up national parks around the country — helping out in the midst of the government shutdown.

Volunteers with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA) emptied overflowing trash cans, picked up piles of litter and swept the streets in Everglades National Park in Florida, the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and Joshua Tree National Park in California.

Members of the group were joined by additional volunteers. At least 70 volunteers — both Muslims and non-Muslims — took part in the weekend cleanup, group spokesperson Salaam Bhatti, tells MNN.

“Service to our nation and cleanliness are important parts of Islam,” said Dr. Madeel Abdullah, president of the group, in a press release. “We could not sit idly by as our national parks collected trash. We will lead by example and dispose of this garbage appropriately and invite all Americans to join us in these parks and others across the nation.”

You know what we need more of? Condemnation arcs. Show us the villain’s deepest motivations. Show us the family they love, show us them at peace, sharing time with their friends/minions. Show us what reasons they have that they think justify what they’re doing.

And show us that they are wrong. 

Show us that they believe that they’re right, but that their belief doesn’t justify what they do, the people they hurt, the damage that they think will be justified if they can only get what they really want.
