January Litter Pick

January Litter Pick

Thank you Veronica for supporting me again this year at Dafen pond. The pond area was not too bad other than drink cans thrown into bushes again! The car park area however was a terrible mess. Some of the problem has been the strong winds blowing litter around but if people didn't dump their litter bags there in the first place then they wouldn't get opened by the wildlife and then blown around! Why people make the effort to take their rubbish there and not the tip or put it out at their own property is beyond my comprehension. It is so sad that people don't appreciate our beautiful areas and try to look after them, is it so hard to put a wrapper or can in a bin or pocket? Cigarette ends are also a big problem there. It is obvious that car ashtrays are being emptied onto the floor just a matter of feet away from the bin! You never know, one day it might just sink in to some people what bins are for lol.
