Another instance of people eating their KFC food and then just leaving their rubbish on the street. Happening all the time in my neighbourhood sadly. Ended up collecting two bags worth of rubbish - mostly fast food wrapping, plastics and cigarette butts and boxes. I read the latest KFC Corporate Sustainability Report. I wonder if companies like KFC would be open to having their staff clean up their local areas on a regular basis??? Would be good marketing and demonstrate their impact.... Food for Thought.....

So, I came back to clean up the rest of the Singapore daisy infestation and the wonderful ground staff had cleaned up most of the remaining plants and removed the waste!! Well Done Dovetree staff!! Singapore Daisy creates a matt of roots and suckers, so there were a few stalks left, so I removed all that I could see. This is the small pile seen between the two grevillias on the left in the photo. But early detection before becoming too large an area, and prompt action and joint effort has stopped this infestation!! So Happy!!

I'm excited to make the world a better place and be part of the green movement.

Where my mum is now living, at Dovetree, there are lovely grounds with lots of native trees planted. As everywhere, weeds are invading. I noticed this single patch of Singapore Daisy, and no other infestations. So I spent an hour removing the weeds by the roots. Prevented its spread into and over the other native ground covers. I’ll come back another couple of times to make sure it’s eliminated. A bit of education and early intervention makes all the difference!

I picked up a bag of rubbish around my local area

More party balloons, this time 20km East of Moreton Island close to the continental shelf! Those party balloons that are let loose don't just disappear into thin air!!! #anotherturtlesaved

I used to think that most of the rubbish I saw on the streets had blown out of bins, or was accidentally dropped. Sadly, time and time again I see the discards of whole meals from the KFC, and containers from Starbucks, where people park their cars, consume the food, then leave their rubbish 😔So sad. I repeatedly pick up the rubbish noting how grass cutters just mow over the top helping speed the creation of micro plastics….and on cue!!! A ride on, mowing grass that doesn’t need mowing, goes straight over the top. Wrong on so many levels 😢

Revisited the biobasin, removed a shopping bag of rubbish washed there after the rains, watered the seedlings and pulled out 50+ baby glycine vines. It’s looking really healthy ❤️

Spent 15 mins picking up soft plastic (bags) and plastic water bottles on the beach (5m x 6m area) at Na Trang. Vietnam

Watering the shrub tube stock again on my walk. The silky oaks do like lots of water.

Down at the creek and noticed an outbreak of Singapore Daisy...looks pretty but overgrows plants and smothers native vegetation.. l will need some help to get this removed.. Please reach out of you can help.. Location Wishart..

Planted 10 native shrubs on the Easter weekend, some weeding.
