Boy, 9, launches 100-day litter-pick challenge

Theo says some of his friends have been helping him with the litter pick, and he has already collected the equivalent weight in rubbish as a female lion. "I find it horrible how people can just drop litter, it's not right," he said. Along with his family, he travels around Wiveliscombe, Milverton, Wellington, and Taunton to pick up items other people have disregarded. "Lots of lay-bys have got quite a bit in them, especially around the parks and roads," he added. His mother Molly said she was "super proud of him". "He wanted to do this and he's made it happen," she added. Theo originally aimed to raise £100, but has now collected £1,200 for Surfers Against Sewage. The charity campaigns for clean oceans, rivers and lakes to help protect wildlife.
