I can’t imagine why folk choose to #litter but I can choose not to walk past it. 😀🐾🐾

We just stayed local today with a wander round the nearest parks in #Stonehaven. Still managed to pick up 2 bits of #litter, the only trouble was clearing the bin to put them in. 🙄 ⛄️

Another no #litter day. The furthest we got was a #dog walk to the vet’s for Ted’s epilepsy meds & supplies at the shop.

What are your plans for today? A long #dog walk, a get together or full on Christmas prep?

It’s amazing what can be picked up on a walk along a beach.
This is what our founder/chair, Marion, picked up on a short walk on #Ayr Beach. We can all make a difference if we take a few minutes.
What difference did you make today? Or can start making tomorrow? #ayrshire #scotland

A lesser known impact of picking up #litter is the huge boost it gives to #mentalhealth
You can immediately see the difference made! Plus have the satisfaction knowing that litter won’t harm an animal, end up in the sea,or be someone’s excuse to drop more litter.Try it & see! 🐾
