10 ways to clean up your community
Lending a helping hand doesn’t have to be time consuming
Good deeds come in all shapes and sizes, and although these small actions may not change the world on their own, they all add up and help to make it a better place.
1. Go plogging
Just in case you’re blissfully unaware of what plogging is, in a nutshell, it’s picking up litter while you run. Not only is it the perfect excuse to strap on your trainers and get outdoors, but it’s an easy way to combine getting it with cleaning up your local area. Next time you go on a jog, grab a bag, a pair of gloves and get plogging!
2. Organise a litter pick
If it’s your turn to organise an afternoon with the girls, skip the overpriced lunch and plan a litter pick. Braving the elements will help you all become more attuned with nature, and doing a slightly more unconventional activity makes it more memorable. Why not head to your local park and take advantage of the quaint café once you’ve finished, or enjoy a walk along the beach while clearing up coastline? Litteraction.org.uk is a great organisation to help you get started.
