Report written by Tav (he/him)
Half an hour and two bags of litter. Hilly Field is a bit better for it. Some litter had seen at least 30 Christmases go by. It is odd to throw litter and curious to walk past it and leave it on the floor, especially in a lovely area like Hilly Fields. (wow that was politely put)
Among our haul was a very large sponge, lots of sweet packets, clear plastics, cans of convenience food, beer and soft drinks and a discarded Oranjeboom beer!
One day the idea that countries like Norway do, whereby you pay a tax and get that back on returning bottles and cans for recycling, may come in...😉
I would just like to add how massively proud I am off members old, new, regular and all the rest.
Seasons Greetings and be good, safe and keep spreading happiness.
Litter blights our streets, parks and beaches and costs us millions of pounds to clear up every year. Keep Britain Tidy is here to inspire people to eliminate litter now and for future generations. This is about more than simply getting people to pick up litter. We aim to change behaviour permanently by spotlighting the problem daily and offering creative solutions. We work with people, businesses, local authorities and government to educate, innovate and inspire - improving the environment on everyone’s doorstep.
