Mosett Tavern Pond Well we missed all those people that could not make it on Saturday for the litter pick. Nevertheless we had a group of 5 people and still managed to haul out 14 bags of garbage. Once again there was lots of polystyrene food containers, plastic bottles and cans. The good news is that Scottish environment Minister Richard Lochhead is thinking of introducing a deposit system on bottles, cans and plastic. This will go a long way to removing this type of rubbish from the burn. Lets hope is not just talk and there is some action. There is also a lot of silt in the burn and hopefully the winter rains will flush this downstream Thankfully there was a lot less dog poop in bags, still some odd items were a bicycle, jacket, soup ladle, part of an engine block. As winter creeps in and we have more rain the burn is filling up, so I think we will have one last pick in October. I will send out date and times in a few weeks. .
