This morning members of Energy Services volunteered to litter pick along Nottingham Canal.
The 1km stretch running parallel to London Road produced 22 bags of litter. Some of the more unusual items found were, a whole roasted chicken carcass and a shoebox with just the one shoe inside it. Litter of all kinds pose a threat to local wildlife along the canal and can lead to death so it is important to dispose of your rubbish as safely as possible.
Around 80% of the plastic in our oceans comes from litter dropped inland. As part of the Nottingham City Council Plan 2019-2023 the council is committed to removing all single use plastic internally.

Nottingham has cemented its commitment to becoming a carbon neutral city by 2028 and creating climate resilience in the city by joining the global Race to Resilience.
Over 650 households across the city will soon be saving hundreds of pounds on their energy bills and reducing their carbon emissions thanks to the free installation of solar panels and insulation.
On Thursday 5th May, Nottingham City Council was named Local Authority of the Year in the Regional Energy Efficiency Awards, demonstrating the council’s commitment to reaching carbon neutrality by 2028. The council has won this title for two consecutive years, after winning in the same category in the National Energy Efficiency Awards in February.
