Giving litter the boot

Nicola, Sophie and Clara met with Claire and Andrew from Wild Eton Wick, on the Thames Path. The task was to collect litter but to record items as we go, which will be used as part of a wider survey and campaign to reduce litter.

Claire equipped us with litter pickers, gloves, head torches and clipboards. There was even a sharps box if we found any syringes, for example.

We collected 4 large bags of litter across 1.5 hours. Most obscure items included welly boots, a pair of glasses, a towel and a bag of bbq charcoal.

There will be more to come on Sunday as part of national rivers week.
