Serial litter picker & campaigner. No job too small 😉. Does have a life outside of litter, it's called sleep. All views are rubbish 😜. Save our NHS.

Full bottles of water are a regular #litterpick find. They become projectiles when thrown from vehicles. It's not smart to throw #plasticbottles . #litterpollution @smartwater

Last #litterpick of #October had it all. 877 litter items. Shredded plastics & metals. Fly-tip an evidence. On the #A38 #BristolRoad over 500m of carriageway verge. With a local motorway junction closure very high levels of traffic but no toots of support. #litterpollution – at North Nibley, England

It's no #Halloween joke it's the real deal. Rare selfie. Look away if you have a nervous disposition. I don't have the chiseled looks of fellow planet savers @TJRPitt @markrowlands569 & their #Spartan warrior physiques. I'm an egghead on stick legs :) A38 & 877 litter items. – at North Nibley, England

Can you sign this petition and urge Andy Burnham to put ordinary people before big polluters and introduce new taxes on oil and gas profiteers? greenpeace.movement-action.o… – at North Nibley, England

A couple of days away in bustling #Liverpool & beautiful #Barmouth only focused on 'placed' #litter on walks. Litter left on walls, fences, window ledges etc. Deliberate uncaring acts of #litterpollution. – at North Nibley, England
