Watch this moving clip of protesters volunteering to clean up in Tahrir Square during the mass gatherings  against the Mubarak regime. Look for one of the men collecting trash with a sign in English saying "To Keep Egypt Clean." Sarah Goodyear at Grist observes, "This is what becomes possible when people feel a sense of ownership about the place where they live. This is what is happening in public spaces during this remarkable uprising."

I agree with her: It is beautiful to see.
