A few photographs and a few comments from the last few days.
What kind of World do you wish to live in? How can you help create it? Do you believe we can create it?
I walked down to the canal just outside Rugby and followed a small path through the undergrowth. To my left were overgrown thorn bushes, brambles and trees…and every few yards empty Strongbow cider cans. I hoiked some of them out, took some video, put it on you tube, tweeted it and sent it to the Rugby Advertiser. My litter picking has turned it’s corner-at last. I have decided to only pick up lottery scratch cards, (because there are a lot of them on the ground…and I stand a chance of winning something if cards have not been scratched!). 
I shall also pick up the plastic rings you get from 4 and 6 pack drinks cans…and anything dangerous…like the ‘saw’ I found in the undergrowth.
Until I manage to find a way of earning a living from litter picking and to being able to pay others to help too, these items are all that I am going to pick up.
There was quite a bit of work available in Rugby. Lots of driving jobs, warehouse work and they needed an assistant manager in this restaurant/tea house/music venue.
What a great name!
With a great attitude to life plus vegetarian and organic food, I am tempted to apply…
And it lies on a street that calls itself a…
Now this is a good idea,
a) to make yourself some money, and b) to reduce the amount of ‘stuff’ going into landfill.
And it looks like this chap deserves a hat tip…
Back to the first photograph. How can we put ourselves in the best position to create the World we wish to live in? Can blog writing help?
I intend on making my next blog post very different indeed.
Cheers, Simon.
Oh…and the you tube video!
The Professional Litter Picker. 
Great blogpost, Simon. I’m very curious about the next one! I love the inscription on the bench – so moving – Keith Martin Peters must have been a good chap.
Thanks Erica. Yes, gotta think hard about the next one! Great inscription for Mr. KMP as you say, and only 50 years old when he passed on. I always try and look at inscriptions. They can be very interesting/intriguing/sad/happy etc. Hope all well with you.
