Pristine Parishes from Eden Enterprises
https://eden.enterprises/
We help parishes transf orm themselves by showing that litter is fixable: you can have a #pristineparish. This means cleaning up your parish yourselves and keeping it clean - as Little Rissington has been doing since 2018. Once the legacy litter has been cleared, the task becomes a pleasurable brisk walk along set routes in the parish by individuals working alone who choose a day of the week (approx. 3.5 days after the last pick) and a time of day that suits them to go picking - with no need to assemble a team of volunteers on a set day and no need for expensive rolling roadblocks. As an example, see here for Little Rissington’s picking schedule. The program runs itself, with very little need for management - less than 10 minutes a week in Little Rissington.
We encourage people to think of their parish as an extension of their home, which they likely clean once or twice a week, and spot clean every day. Accordingly, following our program, your parish is cleaned twice a week.
The benefits are:

Members of this group pledge to pick up 2 pieces of litter while out walking our beloved hounds. Simply pick items up using a spare poo bag and take it home to empty, into your recycling bin if possible, saving the bag to use again. Post a lovely photo of your dog on this page to celebrate your efforts & spread the word! Remember you are responsible for keeping yourself & any accompanying companions safe. All pieces you pick up are helping to reduce the amount of plastic ending up in the sea.
Plogging
From Wikipedia
Plogging is a combination of jogging with picking up litter (merging the Swedish verbs plocka upp (pick up) and jogga (jog) gives the new Swedish verb plogga, from which the word plogging derives). It started as an organized activity in Sweden around 2016 and spread to other countries in 2018, following increased concern about plastic pollution. As a workout, it provides variation in body movements by adding bending, squatting and stretching to the main action of running, hiking, or walking. Plogging is considered a perfect activity, as it is positive both for the body, and for the environment. An estimated 20,000 people Plog daily in 100 countries and some plogging events have attracted over 3,000,000 participants.
