Last day of school and I was doing the usual litter-pick with my boys on the walk in and a man stopped us, praised the kids and asked if he could give them something. Thank you stranger. You really made their day! #randomactsofkindness #litterpicking #bellgreen #sydenham #se26

Found three treasures while litterpicking, including another Mesolithic worked flint - 7 from the same area so far (2 x blades and 2 x points/barbs were notably close finds). This one is the same grey flint, and it's been worked as a core, but only about a third remains because it broke from intense heating. Archaeologists sometimes record these heated flints as "potboilers" but I'm not convinced that applies to this artifact. It seems to be part of a core with usable flint that was put beyond use either intentionally or in a natural wildfire. I was already beginning to wonder if a tool - spear/harpoon - was mislaid and I've been finding some of the pieces. Now I'm wondering if a campsite was lost or even a human life: landslip, wildfire, hunting accident? Impossible to know but I can't help speculating.

Bell Green, Lower Sydenham (and surrounding areas). We have been fighting to try and clean up Bell Green for more than 5 months and it's exhausting. #litter #flytipping #keepbritaintidy #sydenham #se26 #litterpicking #london @LewishamCouncil

Sunset seen while out litterpicking yesterday evening.

#sunset #clouds #larking #litterpicking

Two tiny worked Mesolithic flints, probably used as barbs on spears. The smallest, which I found yesterday while litterpicking, is 11x6mm. Apart from me, you're the first people to see the one on the left for over 8,000 years.

Guess who just found the teeniest Mesolithic microlith while litterpicking on a sunset walk? Me! Strange to be the first person for over 8,000 years to see this human manufactured tool.

A large, rusty, rear horseshoe with quarter clips and square headed nails. No earlier than 1830s but likely more recent. Found in woodland on a disused and overgrown farm and logging trackway while litterpicking. A lucky find.

Moin! So viele Menschen mögen das Meer und verbringen ihren Urlaub an unseren Küsten.
Das bringt leider aber auch wieder viel achtlos weggeworfenen Müll (neben vielen anderen Problemen).
Am besten ist Müllvermeidung, aber es hilft auch schon, wenn man einfach mal den Müll aufsammelt und entsorgt, wenn man am Strand unterwegs ist. Macht Ihr mit ?

Day #11 of cleaning up litter along my #Commute route.

Another 18 days has passed since my last cleanup.

I expanded my territory again (as well as cleaning up my existing stretch of road), and managed to get another tire, a television, some siding, and three more bags of miscellaneous trash.

So far:
🛞 31 Tires
🚮 40 Bags of trash

Oh, look— a tube! If only I had a tire.

When I hike, I always pick up trash as I go. The place I was at is fairly good with litter, but there were still a few things to pick up... including half a joint.

I was a good citizen and picked it up. The wrapper I didn't trust, but the contents were still good and very effective after dinner and before bed.

Back out on a #Hike today. Barely any #Litter in the whole park so far. I'm sure I'll find some somewhere.

Recent litterpicking included a cute plastic elephant who is now in a local charity shop, and a Castrol GTX oil tin that appeared to be 40-50 years old.

Day #10 of cleaning up litter along my #Commute route.

Even with my expanded territory (a 1.2 km stretch of rural road), I only managed to find one bag's worth of trash along the whole thing. My last maintenance cleanup was 18 days ago.

So far:
🛞 30 Tires
🚮 37 Bags of trash

No more tires in the ditch, and things have grown in a lot.

This is one of the spots I cleaned up, and I enjoyed a rest stop here on the way home from work today— perched on that thick end piece that's supposed to crumple /just so/ when crashed into.

Please, please: If you see trash, pick it up and get rid of it... even if it's not yours. The more of us do it, the easier it is to maintain.

Day #9 of cleaning up litter along my #Commute route.

I expanded my reach a bit and cleaned up a little farther along my route. I got all of the junk in the picture, plus 2.5 bags to add to yesterday's measly half a bag.

So far:
 30 Tires
 36 Bags of trash

Day #8 of cleaning up litter along my commute route.

It's been a few weeks since I was last out, and only a half a bag needed to be cleaned up along the whole damn thing.

I was expecting much worse than that.
