A few Mum's and their kids were flyer-ing outside Tesco's advertising a community litter pick in Amersham, the same afternoon I was sampling Costa's ice blended drinks. Got chatting to the Mum's and ever one to 'get involved' I went a long to give a couple of hours of my time to help clear up Amersham and show that people from Costa will get involved, we donated bin bags and disposable gloves for the litter pickers.
One of the Mum's took me along with her to where she was collecting, there were some random stuff in the fields behind Old Amersham. We found a car battery, old clothes, a metal stand of some kind, loads of drinks and food wrappings. I lost her on the second trip and meandered along behind Tesco's in a really pretty park picking up what I could see/reach in the bushes.
I'm aware that my two hours probably didn't make that much of an impact, this particular litter pick only happens once a year. It was nice to see people coming together for this event, maybe meet some new people, can't be a bad thing.
