Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Elizabeth
Tonight, four GoodGymmers met up to do a litter pick around Camden as part of the RED January challenge to do something active every day.
Meeting at Russell Square, I proceeded to wow everyone with my brand new litter pickers (that grab-function though 😍😍😍) before we put them to the test.
As we picked, we sorted the recyclables and non-recyclables into separate bags to make it easier to dispose of them properly: Camden is genuinely littered with recycling points, so we were able to divest ourselves of a lot of it as we went. Unfortunately, this also meant we wouldn't get a nice post-plog picture of the amount we collected. However, despite missing out on that perfect Instagram-able moment, we were still pleased to have collected around 3-4 bags of litter within the hour as we travelled from Russell Square to Euston. We also acquired various nicknames as we chatted/plogged. Feel free to play match-the-moniker-to-the-GoodGymmer from the following: Killer, Recyclable, Highly Flammable, and Silent Night 👍🏻
Given our RED January goals, it's likely that we'll be doing a LOT of litter picks over the next month or so: keep an eye out for more in the near future! 😄
