Clean environment, better lockdown exercise

Why not turn a lockdown exercise routine into a mind-and-environment-cleansing litter pick?

 

Everyone is trying to make the best of things during Scotland's second lockdown, and now the GRAB Trust - the Group for Recycling in Argyll and Bute - has come up with a great litter pick starter pack containing everything anyone needs to know about a litter pick or beach clean.

 

The trust is also looking for photos of people's litter picking and beach cleaning adventures, which can be shared via the GRAB Trust Beaches and Marine Litter Project Facebook page.

 

The GRAB Trust encourages litter pickers to take photos before and after the clean-up, of the litter collected and any particularly interesting or unusual items which turn up.

 

If anyone is planning a beach clean, plenty of information can also be found at the Marine Conservation Society Beachwatch website, including handy guides on everything from how to do a beach clean to Covid-19 safety advice.

 

For a litter pick anywhere other than a beach, Keep Scotland Beautiful has all the details needed.
