Every dog walk is a litter pick. Been putting up @pawsonplastic.bsky.social posters in the wonderful Inch Park with Scotty and Brodie last night. Such a lovely place and litter was collected. The campaign is to encourage more people to bin their litter and to join a great cause.

Picking up some #litter while walking the dog is a simple idea but so effective where there are lots of us doing it as studies show fewer people drop litter when areas are clean It’s also great for #mentalhealth doing something that has an immediate,visible impact. Join us!

Would you be shocked if you saw us throw this bag of #litter into the sea?? Chances are a few people would object but that’s exactly the result of dropping litter at the beach like here in #Aberdeen If you REALLY love animals you don’t drop litter & pick up some when you can. Simple! Join us!

Well done to our 19 volunteers clearing 12.72kgs of waste from #Stonehaven Beach on our Aug #PlasticFreeStonehaven #PawsonPlastic beach clean Clothing, 2 vapes, an iron bar, cigarette butts & LOTS of plastic bottles & cans from the Playpark & Skatepark. Next clean 5th Sept 10-11am #aberdeenshire

Lovely walk in Burdiehouse Burn Valley Park last night, and beginning to roll out @pawsonplastic.bsky.social’s Edinburgh campaign posters. Alas, no wildlife chose to put on a show, so here are the boys. And litter was collected. #litter #FriendsofBurdiehouseBurnValleyPark. #Edinburgh

A lesser known impact of picking up #litter is the boost it gives to our #mentalhealth You can immediately see the difference you’ve made, can be satisfied knowing that litter will not harm an animal or child, that it won’t reach the sea or be someone’s excuse to drop litter. Try it & see #dogs

It’s Friday!!! Get that #FridayFeeling every day of the week by picking up a couple of pieces of #litter on walks. It’s the simplest (& quickest) way to protect animals, communities & the environment there is! 😜 Join us! 29,600 dog owners & counting… #dogsofbluesky

To a labrador absolutely everything is edible. That is their truth. 🙄 We pick up litter to protect animals from harm & don’t encourage an interest in litter as so many are injured by it. Is this something YOU do? #dogwalk #forestwalks #dogsofbluesky #litter #litterpick
