  • One man's bold challenge to collect one million bags of litter in 2025 is inspiring Bristol to get moving, clean its streets, and build a stronger, greener community

The article from MSN discusses the efforts of Paul Stevens, a 63-year-old man from Bristol, who has dedicated himself to cleaning up his city by collecting litter.

His mission began after he noticed the litter while walking his dog, leading him to start picking up trash daily. Stevens, who has been recognized with a British Empire Medal, not only cleans the streets but also engages with the community, encouraging others to join in his efforts. His work has inspired a movement, with many locals now participating in litter-picking activities. Despite his significant impact, Stevens remains humble, focusing on the ongoing need for environmental cleanliness and community involvement.
