Know litter, know crime

Ealing Report written by StephDucat

Another month and more litter picked by the Goodgymers locally : Trash talk leads to a dirty reputation in a litter-free zone and Crime never pays, but littering might cost you a clean slate.

Last Night We Litter-ally Cleaned The Whole of Finsbury Park

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice

Area Activator Simon was thrilled to have 9 Goodgym Runners and Walkers (including first timer Deirdre - welcome!) join Goodgym Islington for our first plogging session of 2025!

What is "plogging"?

Plogging is a fitness trend that combines jogging with picking up litter, originating in Sweden. The word is a portmanteau of the Swedish words "plocka upp" (pick up) and "jogga" (jog). It's a way to stay active while also contributing to a cleaner environment.

Together, our crew ran up the Gillespie Park Nature Trail after a warm up on the Emirates Stadium slopes. On route, we stopped to enjoy fresh blackberries, and to coax a huge cat to say Hello to us! We approached Finsbury Park, and spotted more red t-shirts in the distance, waiting for our running team at the newly renovated Finsbury Park Skatepark Plaza.

Area Activator Simon pulled out foldable litter pickers, black bags and sturdy gloves from his big running bag of wonders, and explained the proceedings for tonight's task. In three groups of three, we set about walking around the perimeter of Finsbury Park, picking up as much litter as possible. These particular sections of the park are often hard to access by the grounds team, and debris from picnics and parties often gets blown over here by the wind. Our objective was to fill nine bags of rubbish within about 40 minutes.

Team 1 scoured the main pathways towards the Finsbury parkrun start line, Team 2 headed towards the children's playground and duck pond, while Team 3 got stuck in by the fences next to the skatepark. The areas that are less frequented by the public are always the spots that become over run with litter - Team 3 had the biggest task on their hands, and we all pitched in before the end of the evening!

Great work everyone. We received some lovely comments from visitors in the park, appreciating our efforts. A smashing way to spend a summer's evening!
