It was great to see forty or fifty people out on the Cobham Drive coast yesterday, picking up rubbish for the Forest & Bird Seaweek beach clean-up. Older people, younger people, kids—all pitching in.
There was a heap of rubbish wedged among the rocks. Plastic drink bottles galore.
At least 10 rubbish sacks were filled in the couple of hours I was there.
Most interesting find: Barbie's shoe
Most ironic find: a tie between an "NZ Natural" plastic water bottle and a plastic city council rubbish bag
