Paws on Plastic: Clean Walks with Dogs | Edinburgh News
Description
Forty years ago, a young councilor teamed up with local heroes to transform a trash-strewn park into a thriving green gem—earning it a Green Flag award and sparking a lifelong passion for community clean-ups. From revitalizing Burdiehouse Burn to joining global efforts like Paws on Plastic, the mission has evolved: now, dog walkers across South Gilmerton Brae are turning every stroll into a litter-picking adventure, removing millions of pieces of trash while snapping photos, bonding with nature, and leaving with a deep sense of purpose. Whether you’re solo or with your pup, it’s the perfect blend of fitness, fun, and environmental impact.
