10 amazing volunteers spent 2hrs clearing up a local park: 6 large bags, 3 footballs, 1 bike frame, 1 bike wheel, 1 basketball net and stand 😡

Hopefully it stays like this for the foreseeable future 🤞

Couldn’t wait any longer - ripped open one of the grow bags and managed to harvest 62 potatoes!

4 batches still to open! Chips this week then…😂

We always try to pick up a few pieces of litter on the cool down after our runs - like Tesco said, every little helps 👍

Before/After…😎

2hrs of weeding and scraping - looking a lot better! Still more to do but got plans to give this disused area a new purpose…😏

[Community and Environmental Action NI @CEA_NIRL]

@TfL @CranfordAction @CanLager @HillingdonLP @LBofHounslow @HestonActionG You could easily liaise with the group to do a scheduled litter pick before the verge is cut - surely can’t be that difficult? Logic

This little guy was on his last legs laying on a brick so gave him some sugar water + after a while, placed him on a marigold for some nectar… save the bees!!! 🤜🤛

We were asked about @CranfordAction at today's launch of Harlech Gardens - we said that they were probably busy rescuing some park or road verge from mountains of litter pollution. You are just amazing & so determined. Thank you 🙏

[Community and Environmental Action NI @CEA_NIRL]

@HestonActionG @CranfordAction Legends everywhere 🤜🤛

[Community and Environmental Action NI @CEA_NIRL]

Stairway down to the park has been left overgrown + littered…

Not anymore 💪

This is where having some pride in your area can change the outlook - it’s more inviting, tidy, nowhere for litter to clutter…👍

We challenge you to find a local spot + give it a refresh 🤜🤛

A stroll last weekend with my little boy down a quiet country lane…

6 cans of coke all neatly thrown out of a car, usual question, just why?! 🤬

Funniest thing we found was this postcard - someone really hates living in England 😂😂😂

[Community and Environmental Action NI @CEA_NIRL]

Great catch up with @CranfordAction yday, only 4 of us but still managed over 20 bags - mad! These groups are what councils rely on cos the reality is they can’t be everywhere so community pride is the way forward 🤜🤛

[Community and Environmental Action NI @CEA_NIRL]

Over in London for a few days, revisited Crane Park, a lovely nature haven unfortunately spoilt by those who don’t care about it…😒

[Community and Environmental Action NI @CEA_NIRL]

Picked up a couple of beer bottles from Annalong yday - it’s not just the littering aspect which infuriates me, it’s the fact that these would be smashed into pieces by the waves 🤬 no excuse just to put it in a bin 😒

Bit of a jungle in the potato bags but coming along nicely 😎 easiest thing to grow - grab a grow bag or large bucket, add some potatoes with roots shooting, throw in your compost + top it off as the flowers grow! Likely a potato shortage this year so sitting on a gold mine 😎

[Community and Environmental Action NI @CEA_NIRL]

@test_richie Need some potatoes while you’re there? There’s gonna be a shortage and I have 4 bags being grown 😎

[Community and Environmental Action NI @CEA_NIRL]

Our pallet planters are coming along nicely 😎 spring onions + garlics in this one with some summer flowers on top for the bees 😎 a really simple upcycled project perfect for gardens with little space 👌
