HELPING TO CLEAN UP OUR COAST AND COUNTRYSIDE
I've been asked if I just litter pick locally or if I cover other areas. Yes, most of my litter picking is local to Exmoor and West Somerset. When I go on holiday, my litter picking equipment is in the car for me to spend a bit of time improving the local environment there as well. The photos above include some litter info displayed in coastal locations in Ireland plus a #2minutebeachclean 'A' board. I spent a bit of time collecting plastics on the coast near Malin Head. On another occasion, I had a week on the Isle of Jura where there are more deer than humans on the island which is a beautiful place and is kept very clean. However, I hired a bike while I was there and, on a cycle ride between the car ferry and the small village of Craighouse (home of Jura Distillery), I spotted litter which had probably been thrown from visiting vehicles. Towards the end of my week there, I went and collected all the litter (in the above photo) I could find knowing that I had left this lovely island tidier than I found it. This summer, I am spending 2 weeks on the Isle of Islay which is also in the Inner Hebrides with seas coming from the Atlantic so again, I will be taking my litter picking equipment to collect anything I find which shouldn't be there.
