 * Mark the Litter Guy (blog)**: Unemployed and uninterested in panhandling, a Toronto man set his sights on becoming a useful member of society - and in turn, became a local celebrity. Mark the Litter Guy, as he is known by all, grabbed some trash bags and dedicated himself to cleaning the city's streets day in and day out. Torontians respect him for choosing a non-intrusive way to make money (he does not ask for money but accepts donations) and celebrate him for beautifying their streets; he sometimes receives so much more than panhandlers in the area that he will give them some change. Whether or not people give him money, he continues to clean the streets, picking up around 80 bags of trash a day. He is so popular with locals that the Australian Boot Company on Queen Street recently gave him a free pair of steel-toe capped [|**Blundstone**]   boots (the Australian work boot brand that has been adored by workers and the fashion crowd for over a hundred years), and we expect "sponsorship" will be offered by other local businesses as well. Mark has his own [|**blog**]    where he writes about his passions and inspirations, and of course, cleaning the streets.
