On a sunny and splendid evening in Shirley, the Pub and Pick 2.0 commenced. It's a small movement which will gain tracktion, and the neighbouring areas were well chosen for tonight's litter pick. Coming across many bottle caps, bits of plastic and children's sippy cups broken into pieces, the Pick and Pub crew collected two bags of rubbish to benefit the inhabitants living on the border between Shirley and Freemantle. Not only did the locals thank us, but we came across a lot of rubbish (not documented to protect identities) which was safely placed into bags to help clear the local neighbourhood. Our social deed was polished off with the Pub part of the Pick and Pub which was well received by Chris and myself to finish off a busy week. The evening became crisp with with clear skies to end our session. Long live the movement!
