Go with the Flo and stop dropping your masks!

-

AT JUST nine, Florence Parsons has already been litter picking for five years.

But the young eco warrior says she has never seen her town of Yeovil as messy as it has been since Britain came out of lockdown. Mother Jude Parsons, 44, said: ‘In an hour’s litter picking we easily pick up between 20 and 40 pieces of PPE, including disposable masks, gloves and even the full plastic visors.

‘Whenever we pass another mask, Florence just goes “urgh! Here’s another one”. She’s fed up. We’ve even picked up around 15 fabric masks in the last few weeks which people have just ditched.’

Florence says she wants to be a council worker when she is older so she can ‘sort the problem out’.
