It was in his late 20s that Mike began suffering from depression. His mental health took a turn for the worse and at his lowest point, he found himself on the bank of the River Don in Aberdeenshire contemplating taking his life.
“I was in a really dark place,” Mike said. “I was saved by a phone call that stopped me there and then—but after that, whenever I’d walk past that area, I felt like a dark shadow was haunting me.
“I was so consumed with my own thoughts, I was almost oblivious to the litter that surrounded me as I tried to deal with the trash that built up in my own head.”
“I was so consumed with my own thoughts, I was almost oblivious to the litter that surrounded me as I tried to deal with the trash that built up in my own head.”
During subsequent visits to the River Don, Mike noticed the litter that had accumulated on the bank, prompting him to take action.
“One day, I took three black bags and went down to the riverside and just started picking up litter.
“There was a person on a bike that stopped me and asked me what I was doing. I told him I was litter-picking and he asked if I wanted a hand.
