Words just fail me, I don't understand what goes through the mind of the moronic idiots that do this. Someone must know who they are, please do the right thing and report them.

The hard work and efforts at Milton Rec last week have been completely destroyed by thoughtless vandals😡
Volunteers helped plant these for the benefit of the environment & local community, which these vandals clearly didn’t think or care about when they tore out about 60 trees

@waitrose has stopped selling single-use vaping products because of their negative impact on the environment and the health of young people.

The company said it could no longer justify selling single-use products and that it had removed two types of e-cigarette from sale.

@Alan_Measles Many congratulations, very well deserved.

Yesterday we saw another recycling load get rejected due to contamination of things like, nappies, food, black sacks and other non-recyclable items.

Each rejected load costs local taxpayers an extra £2,000 for alternative disposal.

Did you, like us, sign the petition against plastic grass & get the government’s infuriating response this morning?

Acknowledged its negative impacts on nature but say they won’t ban it!😠 🤷🏻‍♀️

We need proper action against this damaging product please @Helen_Whately #turfitout

We raised our blue flags this week at Leysdown, Minster & Sheerness beaches this week. The coveted blue flags are awarded to beaches with excellent bathing water and safe, clean beaches with good public facilities. We'll see you down there!

Microplastic pollution has been detected in human blood for the first time, with scientists finding the tiny particles in almost 80% of the people tested.

Plastic never goes away, it just breaks down - we need to rethink our relationship with plastic.
