Plastic bags found by @mcsuk down 80% in 10 years👍

But with vast majority of beach litter still coming from plastic it's clear that we need more action on waste🗑️

Government must bring in an ambitious Deposit Return Scheme to stop waves of pollution👇

Have you signed our petition to help #SaveScottishWrasse yet? https://t.co/MBQE3UY7Ub

Wrasse are long-lived & key species in ecosystems, associated with priority marine features like rocky reefs. But we don’t know how long it takes them to recolonise an ecosystem if removed.

“One teaspoon of the chemical is enough to kill 1.25bn honeybees. It can stay in the soil for years, and taint any flowering plant which grows, meaning that bees foraging for nectar from a flower can be poisoned years after treated seeds were planted” 😩 https://t.co/5HdLJsH6NW
