Weed-eater trimming cord challenge continues
Liz Wiley and Esther Steynberg of Umtentweni have taken up the challenge
Earlier this year, Taryn Burns and her daughter, Savannah from Southbroom began the weed-eater trimming cord challenge.
It was to see how many of those pesky (mainly) red plastic throwaway weed-eater trimming cord pieces they could pick up off the ground on their early morning jogging route around Southbroom.

In one month they collected 283 single pieces of the plastic hazard.
Recently, Liz Wiley and Esther Steynberg of Umtentweni took up the challenge and collected a whopping 729 wires in eight of their walks around the residential areas of Umtentweni.
“Now for some maths. We walked about 6.5km each time so that’s 52 kilometres in total, equating to 14 wires per kilometre or 1 wire every 72 metres,” said Liz.
