💚 MISSION COMPLETE! 💚

We want to say a great big THANK YOU to all the #LitterHeroes who have worked to make 1.16 million miles of outdoor spaces cleaner and greener. 🌼

Despite the challenges we have faced, our community of #LitterHeroes has shown the world, once again, environmental action at its best. We're also pleased to share that we have seen a huge increase in participants new to litter picking, demonstrating how our collective goal to eradicate litter is sweeping the nation.

It couldn't have been done without you (yes, YOU)! 🙌

Looks as though we’re in for a scorcher this weekend! ☀️ Wherever you’re headed, pack a picnic instead of a disposable BBQ! #BringAPicnicNotABBQ

The other day we spoke to Chris from local business, Costcutter in Swanage, who've taken the decision to #ChooseToRemoveDisposableBBQs. 🙌 We asked Chris what he'd say to someone choosing to use or sell disposable BBQs? Find out his thoughts in the vid above 👆
