Things are getting worse, says Cornwall litter picker
An anti-litter campaigner visits all 39 BBC local radio stations with her message.
An 81-year-old anti-littering campaigner has travelled across the country encouraging people to pick up rubbish rather than dropping it.
Ruth Major, from Redruth, Cornwall visited all 39 BBC radio stations in England across 55 days armed with a litter picker and a bus pass.
Affectionately known as Rubbish Ruth, she has collected litter for 10 years and said "things are getting worse".
"We live in a beautiful country and we should be so ashamed of what's happening in it," she said.
