We went litter picking beside the River Dee today with members from Aberdeen Cycle Forum. There’s a pretty path along the river that goes from the rowing sheds down to Victoria Bridge but unfortunately it looks like party central with mountains of bottles and cans. Well no more! We collected 20 bags of rubbish in just under 2 hours including two hypodermic needles which thankfully are no longer in the environment.
I even found £10! It was almost entirely buried in dirt but I saw a flash of plastic colour sticking out and grabbed it with my litter tongs. It’s in perfect condition. Thank goodness for plastic money.
This part of the river is very close to the harbour and we really don’t want littler going into the ocean. Plus the river is home to salmon, many sea birds and there are bunnies living on the river bank.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
