It was a beautiful sunny day and the staff from The Body Shop were off to clean up Jells Park. We were armed with rubber gloves, tongs and our big white bags.
The morning shift set to task tidying up the car park where all manner of unsavory events appeared to occur. The afternoon shift were fortunate enough to have the tidier side of the park to clean, mainly focused on remnants of picnics passed.
At the end of the day we were dirty, but very pleased with the fantastic amount of rubbish collected. Certainly a job well done.
Great Post!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think it was the first time I've picked up rubbish voluntarily. Scab duty in high school doesn't count does it?
It was quite humbling and felt very rewarding when you do it in a group it feels like we accomplished a lot.
My tip is to make a sort of treasure hunt game out of it. On my hunt I found a:
* bottle of vodka,
* bottle of tequila,
* cans of Coke, Sprite & Lift
* tin of paint.
If they weren't all empty I could have made a killer Jells Park cocktail! ;)
As you said Cassie, it was a really rewarding experience and great to meet my new workmates while cleaning up such a beautiful nature reserve.
