Turn Trash Into Treasure, and Travel

Posted October 14, 2008 by BookingBuddy

In these uncertain economic times, we have more on our minds than where to go for our next holiday. In fact, some of us can’t even afford to pay for our next holiday. On top of all that, now that opposition to global warming seems to be the new religion, we get all worried about harming the earth when we do get to go on holiday.

Well, perhaps more of us could try taking a leaf out of John and Ann Till’s book. The couple picked up about 60 000 items of recyclable litter in three months, in order to earn enough points for their honeymoon. The enterprising couple managed to clean up the streets of Petersfield, Hampshire, while paying for their trip at the same time.

The items they collected (mainly cans, bottles and plastic containers) were brought into a Tesco branch to be converted into club card points which were eventually turned into air miles. The Tills collected so many air miles that they were able to travel business class for their British Airways flight back home – which is more than can be said for Heather Mills these days.
