Charity encourages dog owners to pick up litter to protect animals,community & the environment.Litter education. NE Scotland. 28,000 dog owners in 70 countries removing 41 million bits of litter annually. SC051305. King’s Award for Voluntary Service 2025.
Picking up #litter on a #dog walk is a simple idea but so effective where lots of us do it as fewer folk drop litter when areas are clean.

It’s also fab for #mentalhealth doing something that has an immediate visible impact.

If we REALLY love animals it’s not a big ask is it?

Let’s show kindness to animals, kindness to everyone we meet, kindness in our thoughts, kindness in our actions & kindness to the environment.

Not dropping #litter & picking up any we see is a great way to start. Happy #WorldKindnessDay ❤️🐾

Be remembered for the smile you left on a friend’s face

For the laugh of a child

For the way you made someone feel

NOT the litter you left on a street or the animal that it injured.

If we REALLY love animals we don’t drop #litter and we pick up some when we can #dogsofbluesky
