Our first family litter walk, Saturday 18th May. Two grabbers, lots of enthusiasm + a dislike for litter. Ishana chose Station Walk in #Staines for our clean-up. #CleanUp #litter * 1hr walk - great exercise! * 1x large refuse sack filled. * Clean path & hedgerow.

Family litter walk #2, Sunday 25th May. The kids wanted to #CleanUp #litter around their school (@StainesPrep ) - so many plastic bags, bottles and cigarette butts today. * 1hr walk - great exercise! * 1x large refuse sack filled. * Cleaner streets and hedges.

Discover the joys of a #litterwalk: * Litter is bad for the environment & animals. * Educating children about this is important. * Each week we do a (min) 1hr walk. * We collect as much rubbish as we can. * If other people ask, we encourage them too. Give it a go, or join us!

Anyone else living in/near #Staines UK who does regular #litterwalk rubbish pick ups? Would be great to connect and get tips - just started with my kids to help make the local area cleaner.

For this week's #litterwalk , we showed their Aunt & Uncle the sights and cleaned up Penton Hook Island in Laleham. No cans/bottles but half a bin bag full of sweet wrappers, lolly sticks, tissues, small bits of plastic, cigarette butts etc...

This is very serious and is often missed. Pollution from cars is not just from exhausts but also from electric cars from the brakes & tyres. It means we're literally breathing in plastic into our lungs. We need huge car reduction, improved public transport & safer cycle lanes.

Slightly late posting but here's this weekend's #litterwalk from the nature reserve opposite Llamas Park in #Staines. ▶️ 1x large refuse sack filled ▶️ Cleared paths and hedges ▶️ Removed all accessible lake side rubbish ▶️ Mostly historical litter. Well done kids!

Yesterday's #litterwalk - Station Walk in Staines. 1st time since the original clean 4 weeks ago. Alas it was in a state: ▶️ Broken glass bottles. ▶️ Cig packets, filters and butts. ▶️ Drinks can. ▶️ Plastic bags. ▶️ Train tickets. Kids did an amazing but tiring job! Very proud.

Dear #smokers a polite request to help us #keepbritaintidy: ▶️ Don't drop cigarette packets, foils or wrappers on the ground. ▶️ Throw filter tip packaging in the bin. ▶️ Try your best to find a safe bin to dispose of the butts. There is so much litter caused by smoking.

This weekend we enlisted the help of our friends' kids to do a #litterwalk in Birmingham. They all loved it = cleaned up the Clent Hills.

This weekend's #litterwalk was along the river in Staines. Forgot the phone to take pics but we filled half a refuse sack - sad how many people chuck cans and bottles in the bushes and on the path where kids and animals walk.

Just realised I've forgotten to upload pics for the last few weeks - holiday brain! Here's the last UK walk we did end of July - 1hr to clean up our local roads & paths, full bag by the end. Last 2 wks we've been in France and did smaller litter walks each day near our gite.
