Tonight we made a dent on Colchester's litter problem around Abbey Fields. It was a fresh, breezy evening and we needed to keep moving to keep the chill out!
There are no real winners with a game Litter Bingo and the usual suspects were found - plastic dog mess bags, crisp packets and food packaging. Usually there is an odd or weird find. This time an Egg-timer, a kids medicine syringe and a toy gun!
We finished at the kids playground with three bags full...another great job by the fab five (and I) and a lovely reward awaited. We used the litter picking equipment to do a few 'drills' and sprints. Mega!
Enjoy Stars Wars day and have a great weekend!
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.
