On Thursday evening Norwich GoodGymer Jen was on an a walk to the next village after several days in bed unwell to get some fresh air and move. After a mile walk she could not ignore the many cans, bottles and other car flung debris along the footpath anymore. A supermarket bag for life was lying on the floor at the footbridge over the river, which had become a beer cans deposited for someone. The walk was halted, the plastic bag repurposed and the next mile turned into an impulsive litter pick. The bag was overflowing very quickly. It’s a route Jen often likes to run so when a fellow jogger passed with an acknowledgment of ‘you’re a legend’ a smile was had. Once a GoodGymer, always a GoodGymer! Jen then vowed to return with more bags another night!
