Brilliant.
As the article says, it can be truly demoralizing when you see litter return where you've picked, but what choice is there other than to keep fighting it?
I'm planning a solid pick on a stretch of the Grand Union Canal where I commute, only I'll be in my canoe.
I'll do the towpath on my way to work too.
🤘😊🤘
I litter pick 4 or 5 times per week when on my morning walk with Bert - its pointless tutting about litter I might as well pick it up whilst being out with the dog and hopefully people see that its volunteers/members of the public clearing up litter rather than the 'it keeps people in a job' narrative.
Im going to post a pic on the following thread every time we drop a green bag off at a council bin - hopefully it inspires other people and especially dog walkers to do the same

Had a great day today doing a litter pick on some local waterways from the canoe.

Quite lucky where I am in that you can actually paddle a loop using two rivers and the Canal to get back to the start.
Managed to bag quite a lot, though some plastic is just so tangled up in trees from high water that it's incredibly difficult to untangle.
Our first drop
Started and finished at my allotment shed.
👍 doggo looks like it's had a great day out as well!
stone the crows!
2bins raided in local park both tidied and a full bag of litter collected and left at nearby bus stop council bin.

This is an initiative that started over here.
They do three or four runs a week in the nearest town.
