This year has been hard for a lot of people, and there s a lot about 2020 that people want to bury and forget.
Joel Leonard, of Asheboro, N.C., began an international effort to bury 2020. But he s doing it not to forget but to make sure future generations remember.
Leonard, who graduated from Elon University in 1987, started a time capsule project called Bury 2020. He s already had people from across the world express interest, including in India, the Philippines, South Africa and Ireland. His goal is to have at least 100 groups make capsules by the end of December.
Leonard first thought of the idea last year, thinking of 2020 as a milestone year that would be good to remember in the future. He reached out to some people but received a lukewarm response.
It s called Bury 2020. So far people in 10 different countries are participating. Author: Taheshah Moise Updated: 6:04 PM EST December 10, 2020
ASHEBORO, N.C. An Asheboro man is leading a worldwide time capsule project to put this strange year to rest.
It s called Bury 2020. Joel Leonard said he came up with the idea last year, but said it didn t start to catch on until this year s turn of events. Now after the year that we have had, everybody feels like they want to put this past behind to move on into better activities and not just survival but focus on thriving and advancing and really securing a better future, Joel Leonard said.
