Take a load off

Anyone who takes public transportation knows that it's frustrating to walk to the bus stop after a long day – and then not have anywhere to sit.

James Warren witnessed this firsthand, when he noticed a woman sitting in the dirt while she waited for her bus. "I thought, oh, that's simply undignified," he shared about the situation. 

• So the Denver man took matters into his own hands, and started to build the benches himself. 

❤️ Spreading kindness... James' benches have been popping up around Denver ever since. He builds them using scrap wood found throughout the city, carving "Be Kind" into every one. 

• "It's a good message. It's a message anyone can do," said James. "Spread a little bit more kindness in the world and be a little kinder to your neighbour and just try to be a little bit more thoughtful and cognizant of the needs of others."
