Friends of Sefton contribute a large amount of time to litter picking around the Sefton Park, one of the businesses offers a drink for every bag of litter picked up.
Any litter removed from a natural ecosystem helps wildlife and creates a better space for humans too. Other than just being unsightly, litter can cause serious consequences for the environment. As litter degrades it releases chemicals and these chemicals are not natural to the environment, the effects of these can impact on humans and animals as they seep into the soil and fresh water sources.
