“This simple, repetitive and collective act has soothed and distracted me from the perpetual doom-scroll of my mind.” Sam Pyrah writes for @guardian about how taking simple action like litter-picking can turn our eco-anxiety into hope 💚 Read more: theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

This week is #HouseplantWeek.🪴 From reducing stress to purifying the air, there are many benefits to bringing a little greenery indoors. Caring for house plants can inspire us to care for our environment too - leading to a cleaner, greener world.

From disposable coffee cups to leftover Christmas decorations, winter waste can have a lasting impact on our environment. Let’s take action this season by reusing what we can and recycling properly to protect our planet. 💚 #KeepBritainTidy

The numbers are in. Throughout 2024, #LitterHeroes have been logging their litter picks on our Collect and Count tool. A huge 156,097 bags of litter have been reported – and this is just a fraction of the work carried out by incredible volunteers across the country.💚

During the lockdown in 2020, Phil decided to grow out his hair, and used it as an opportunity to raise money for charity, earning himself the nickname ‘Litter Afro’ in the process. He ended up raising nearly £2,000!
