Next stop: Aberdeen!

It was back up north for me after my visit to Hamilton Park Racecourse as I dropped into the Granite City to spread the word about the importance of remembering to recycle more and recycle more often.

I stopped off at Aberdeen’s Duthie Park to have a look at the famous Winter Gardens. I was met by pupils from Ashley Road Nursery, who were having a fancy-dress day out. I meet fearsome pirates and pretty fairies and we all had a great time!

Last year, local people recycled 802 tonnes of plastics – enough to fill three of the city’s swimming pools! Recycling the waste will save around 1,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions, equivalent to taking more than 300 cars off the road.

I only have one more stop left on my tour of Scotland. Why not follow me on Twitter or join my Facebook fan page to keep up to date on where I’ll be stopping off next?
