Jeff works on a corporate "campus" in the middle of New Jersey. Not far from Montclair, not far from Newark. It used to be a farm, and surroundings are still pretty bucolic. Meaning: geese, rabbits, ducks, deer. Jeff's company posted very small signs, but what they really needed were "Hey, buddy, slow down, you're not in the city!" billboards. Jeff saw a woman hit a mama goose and her goslings, completely by accident. The woman stopped, rushed out of the car, but it was too late. The woman was very distraught.
Jeff wrote up a moving memo detailing this, and other sad stories, and as a result, there are now large signs warning drivers of the wildlife around them. It's a small thing that is also a big thing. He rocks.
