My Actifit & Clean Planet Adventure: Oct 5 2023

Heya Hiva シ

Ready or not, here I come..

-> from heading back, after heading out.. in order to head out once more. If you're confused, don't worry.. so was I when I wrote that. However, if you stick around to the end. you'll soon comprehend!

📌 Adventure afoot!

🔼 Today I acknowledged both how much progress I've made, as well the fact that I'm likely going to still be cleaning around the local wetlands for quite some time.

📌 Before the clean..

📌 It's now pristine!

⏫ When I finally was able to begin the cleanup for the day, the afternoon seemed to be marching on rather steadily. As a result, soon after passing by the geese at the pond, I went straight to work. First up was this old washing up cloth.

📌 Before the clean..

📌 It's now pristine!

⏫ From there on, I managed to wrangle up this little bits & pieces of plastic and paper. You can tell how much better the simple scene looked once it was cleared.

📌 Before the clean..

📌 It's now pristine!

⏫ Getting to this plastic bottle required having to reach between some rather prickly vegetation. Quite a bit of sand between my toes, courtesy of the numerous dry sandy mole hills about.

📌 Before the clean..

📌 It's now pristine!

⏫ These scraps were spoiling the vibe. 1,2,3.. that's better to see.

📌 Before the clean..

📌 It's now pristine!

⏫ I recognize that the red strips of plastic are fragments from the lower section of a plastic bottle top. In the carrier it went.

📌 Before the clean..

📌 It's now pristine!

⏫ I wonder what sort of appliance this tag may have originated from? Irrespective, I had to remove it.. whilst leaving the tiny snails behind of course.

📌 Before the clean..

📌 It's now pristine!

⏫ From there on, it was a chocolate wrapper - inconveniently located in more prickly bushes for the day.

📌 Before the clean..

📌 It's now pristine!

⏫ What do you suppose was in this disposable cup? I'm thinking it was a soft drink. Probably too large for a coffee I suppose. I guess it could have been a milkshake too. Now I feel like a milkshake lol. Glad I bagged the trash, though!

📌 Before the clean..

📌 It's now pristine!

⏫ I hope one day soon, plastic is just not an option. There are alternatives right now. I mean, I'm not an expert.. but I'd much rather see a cardboard container for all kinds of drinks. That's been around for ages! Anyway, another one bagged at least.

📌 Before the clean..

📌 It's now pristine!

⏫ No clue what this large foam thing was. About the size of a coat hanger I would say.

📌 The results of sin..

📌 Now in this bin!

⏫ At the end of the cleanup, I tossed the trash in the nearby municipal bin. I kept the new carrier for re-use. Reflecting back on the progress thus far.. I can say that the part of the wetlands where I usually start each day (left hand side), is looking quite nice overall. The other direction, however, still requires a lot of work. I reckon persistence is key.

📌 Final words

🔼 Thinking back now to the beginning of the journey, I would have to point out that there was in fact two - beginnings that is. You see, after I arrived at the wetlands, I discovered that I had left my rubber glove behind. With flashbacks from the previous day, I hastily made my way back.. only to return much better prepared! Looking at the environment, it was well worth the effort. Great day helping the planet, whilst getting fit in the process.

Till next time,
