Yes, it’s Monday but that #litter won’t pick itself.

Let’s get out & make a difference. It only takes a minute to protect animals, your community & the environment. Picking up a few pieces of litter on every walk, 28,000 dog owners & counting

Duthie Park #Aberdeen litterpick. A quiet windy park & a solo effort but 1.8 kgs #litter removed incl bottles & cans taken for recycling, several from the duck pond.

Considering a dog died in April after swallowing a plastic bottle cap in the park, it’s sad to find any. #CWNE

There’s nothing more productive than encouraging folk to join us & protect animals,communities & the #environment

None of us,no matter how hard we try,can do it all alone. It too often leads to overwhelm & frustration at the scale of things. Together, we’re a powerful force❀️🐾

I assure you it’s a genuine image. When you pick up litter regularly in the same area you’re picking up what’s been dropped recently.

Too many folk just don’t think unfortunately. Habits need to change.

Sorry to hear that. It’s such a horrible thing. Its impact is described well in this book along with the other challenges he’s dealing with. ❀️
Feeling much better thanks.

As a charity we don’t recommend encouraging an interest in litter although dogs doing it naturally is what inspired us. We encourage dog owners ourselves to remove it to protect animals from harm as so many are injured by it.❀️

Absolutely. Our message is that if we really love animals we don’t drop litter & we pick some up when we can. It’s a very simple daily habit that has a huge impact when we’re out anyway.

It’s very frustrating but good too to do something about it.

Oh no, so dangerous. Our dogs have been ill a few times too after eating things.
