Granny on a Mission: Tackling Litter One Radio Station at a Time

An 81-year-old woman is traveling the country to advocate against littering. Retired nurse Ruth Major, nicknamed Rubbish Ruth, has embarked on a mission to visit every BBC radio station in England, aiming to inspire a national effort to clean up. Her core message is simple: "we are all capable of doing our bit" to combat the issue.

Major estimates she has personally collected over 100,000 pieces of litter in the decade since she began her campaign. She believes that a collective effort, where millions of people pick up just one piece of rubbish each, can lead to significant change. Her journey, which she plans to complete over several weeks, involves using only public transport with her free bus pass.
