Rochelle Archibald, director of A Greener Future, said, "Our mission is to work with local communities to create a cleaner and healthier environment for future generations by raising awareness and leading by example. Our goal is pick over one million pieces of litter per year through local and international events such as The Great Camino Clean Up."

Rochelle and colleague Mike will be setting off to the Portuguese Way on 20th May and will spend three weeks walking sections of this Camino de Santiago route in Portugal and Spain, as well as organising clean ups and events along the way.
