Why the Feel good factor works

Hadleigh Litter Pick Update

This was created to  encourage a positive vibe with regards to doing something good as a First employee.  As well as, being a good opportunity to meet and greet some of the local community as they asked us what we were doing etc. This created a feel good factor and was a good work out. We ended up with 6 bags of rubbish and a shopping trolley. It really was eye watering, the level of plastic rubbish we found in just a 2 hour window.  This event will probably be arranged again in 6 months’ time as a Xmas litter pick event. So if interested, please chat to me and I will take it forwards.

 

As you can see, we helped local wildlife; with lots of positive feedback from walkers who could view our First table display. It is nice for our team to be able to walk home this way or take a walk in their break, and have a clean and wildlife friendly zone to stroll through.  This  example will engage  our local community, it is a progressive step.  As well as, working with the council with whom we work amongst.

 

 Maybe we could use an event like this to review the plastic we have on our sites and perhaps, going forward, manage the plastic bottles from the canteen, the plastic packaging that’s used on site, or even see if Biffa have a plastic-recycling initiative we could use.  there are many possibilities.

 

This is only a very small step but if others followed suit, then our local surroundings and leisure environments would be cleaner and happier places.
