The Brighouse Flood Allevation Scheme begins this March, with Wellholme Park undergoing major changes, protecting local residents and businesses by 'slowing the flow' alongside re landscaping. As founder of 'Friends of Wellholme Park' supporting the local community at this time is both essential and valuable. Our communications with the Environment Agency and Calderdale Council allow us to help the community adjust during times of disruption and embrace the many benefits to come. Proud to be involved in the process 💚 #communitydevelopment #community #slowtheflow #parksandrecreation #volunteersmakeadifference #lovewhereyoulive #makeadifference #floodprevention #floodcontrol #floodprotection #floodmanagement

What lies beneath... This morning i came across my first true vintage item during a weekly litter pick. Unearthed, during widening of paths for the 'Brighouse Flood Alleviation Scheme', I found a crisp bag dating 1984 ... 40 years old!! It certainly got me thinking when else could be under the ground... years of litter no doubt!! I made it my mission to 'make old litter a thing of the past' at Wellholme Park but it seems i am only scratching the surface (literally). I've found various items dating from 2015, in bushes etc but this is the earliest finding to date. The battle continues. Proof that litter stays around a very long time and doesn't go away on its own. Proof that volunteers removing litter are making a real difference to our green spaces, streets and beaches world wide. Let's keep looking for solutions. Keep binning. Keep protecting our environment and support those making a difference. Remember, your home extends beyond the garden gate 💚🌳🇬🇧🌏 #litter #litterpicking #protectourplanet #volunteer #makeadifference #wecandobetter #climateaction #sustainablefuture #vintagevibes #takeaction #betterfuture #lovewhereyoulive #community

⚠️Yes I'm a young brown man and I'm a Conservationist who picks up other people's litter 🌊 Thrilled to highlight UOCEAN® 2050 groundbreaking efforts in dismantling barriers for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic involvement in conservation! Don't be scared, it's okay to talk about it. 😱 Today, let's delve into the deep-rooted societal challenges, such as the persistent influence of the caste system and the barriers faced by the Dalits every single day and other social hierarchy across the road spanning different nations. In the realm of conservation, outdated opinions and stereotypes have lingered, hindering the active participation of diverse communities. The caste system, with its historical baggage, has disproportionately affected certain groups, limiting their access to opportunities and perpetuating backward mindsets. The VAYYU Foundation® recognizes these challenges and is committed to eradicating the stigma associated with people of colour participation in environmental initiatives. Also thousands of years later self-imposed barriers have also played a role in limiting engagement across the planet. It's not Dirty to serve the planet 💙💙💙💙 UOCEAN® 2050 is actively working to empower individuals, encouraging them to break free from these self-limiting beliefs. Through awareness campaigns and educational initiatives, we aim to inspire a new generation of conservationists who defy societal expectations. Our river and ocean clean-up projects serve as a tangible example of breaking these taboos. By providing accessible opportunities for involvement, we're creating a platform where individuals from all backgrounds can actively contribute to environmental conservation. We believe in inclusivity, ensuring that no one is left behind in the pursuit of a cleaner and healthier planet. Join us in this transformative journey! Let's rewrite the narrative, challenge societal norms, and pave the way for a more inclusive and sustainable future. 🌏💙 #UOCEANImpact #BreakingBarriers #ConservationForAll

National Puzzle Day 2024 On this day i thought i should share something i find puzzling. As many of us know, some dog owners ruin the reputation of those doing the right thing by getting waste in the bag but not to the bin, littering the landscape with unpleasant bags of various colours. It's puzzling By taking the action of picking up dog waste and getting it in a bag, there's a clear conscience of doing the right thing, yet for some, that final part of getting it to the bin is lacking... It's puzzling, if not weird. I'm not a dog owner myself, so i can only try and assume the reasoning. Perhaps they don't want to walk with it in hand? As a litter picker, single use drinks are definitely #1 litter item with dog #2's coming in at ... you guessed it right... #2 (beating takeaway and fast food, not because of volume but simply because 'its gross'), but how can we change this behavior? How can we encourage people to make that final step and get it to the bin? 👉 Carry Clips? These are available to attach waste bags to dog leads or bags until you reach the bin. How can we encourage their use? 👉 Intensives? The litterlotto app offers prizes for binning litter, including a £1k weekly. Surely that's a pretty good intensive? 👉 Awareness? From starting litter picks at my local park in September, I've seen a significant reduction. Perhaps that 'presence' added to the 'conscience' mentioned earlier has had a positive effect. 👉 More Signage? But is this actually effective? I'm not really convinced. Litter is an ongoing challenge and needs urgent solutions. What's your take? Do you have any solutions to this puzzle? #nationalpuzzleday

The Great British Rail Sale is a welcome initiative which will create a positive buzz around rail and encourage people on board. But running for such a short time is not enough - passengers need affordable, fair fares all year round.

LitterCam were delighted to be interviewed by ITV News to understand whether councils could tackle the litter crisis with the help of AI. 🚮 The reach of littering deterrents can be increased beyond enforcement officer patrols through AI and at low cost by incorporating existing CCTV systems and subscrption pricing models. The ITV feature is below. ⬇️ #ai #techforgood #litter #localgovernment https://lnkd.in/ecjuW_dP
