NEO JOINS THAMES FLASHMOB

AUGUST 25th, 2009

We blogged about it a couple of weeks ago and last Friday we went to take part. So what is this flashmob business all about? Organised by environmental charity Thames21, the idea was simple: get a group of people together and clean the Thames foreshore at various locations. The section of the operation we were involved with ran between Putney Bridge and Wandsworth Bridge.

The whole project was part of the Cleaner Thames Challenge, which has been running for four years and is part of an ongoing drive by Thames21 to mobilise volunteers to clean up waterside grot-spots, remove graffiti and create new habitats for wildlife.

Although the day was slightly too well organised to have the true feel of a flashmob, it was still an enjoyable experience and all in all the morning was a success. It was great to be a part of such diverse mix of people teaming up to clear such a diverse range of rubbish - everything from buired tires to vacuum cleaners and even an electric wheelchair.
