Continuing our litter pick relay, I had initially planned to do a bit of litter picking at Hodgkin Park after my morning task. Unfortunately there wasn't much litter to pick!! Mike had already cleaned up the upper park and one of the volunteers cleared up 2 bags of litter. So I headed home and decided to clean up the streets infront of my apartment and the leazes park. Within a few minutes I'd collected loads of discarded drink cans, a solitary vape and loads of cigarette butts. I can safely conclude that most of my neighbourhood, which is mostly uni students, prefer cider to any other drink!🤣 I can't believe we've managed to keep the litter pick relay going for so long, but it has been an awesome team effort that I am so happy to be a part of.
