CAMPAIGN WIN 🚨 Single-use wet wipes containing plastic are to be banned! Fantastic news for beaches & thanks to our Beachwatch volunteers who have gathered data over decades
Over 21,000 wet wipes were found on UK beaches in 2023 - now let’s wipe out wet wipes from our beaches!
This is Paddy after a visit to @ArduthiePS#Stonehaven, meeting & greeting around 400 pupils & staff at an assembly on #PawsonPlastic & @PFStonehaven. Ted is wondering why he didn’t get to visit this time.
Many thanks for making us so welcome. We had a great time(1/2)

Looking forward to our monthly #beachclean tomorrow morning at 10am. We're keeping a close eye on the weather but are hoping to go ahead. The stormy seas throw up so much debris, it's always a great opportunity to remove it. #stonehaven#aberdeenshire#plasticfreecommunities
Sat 6th April is #stonehaven Beach Clean Day 10-11am for #SpringCleanScotland
Wherever you are do your own bit on walks every day.With 26,000 of us picking up a couple of bits of #litter on 2 daily walks, removes 38 MILLION pieces every year
We’re a powerful force!❤️🐾#dogsofx
HUGE THANKS to the 42 awesome volunteers who cleared 83kgs of waste at an extra #Stonehaven#beachclean with @pawsonplastic on Sat after the high tides.
That totals 153.4kgs in Feb & 216.5kg already this year. (Total for cleans in 2023 was 261.455kgs!!)
Next clean 2 March!
If we all do a little it adds up to whole lot of difference…. 25,000 dog owners removing over 36 million bits of #litter every year…a couple of pieces at a time. 😉
It’s never too early to make a #NewYearResolution. Join us! It feels great. #dogsoftwitter#dogsofx

We pick up #litter on walks to protect animals, communities & the #environment & we educate on the consequences of litter.
This is the consequence for Lizzie in #Moray @originalwalkies- a cut, painful paw which took ages to heal.
Let's bin litter & pick up any we see. 💚🐾
A beautiful Sunday with not an ounce of #litter. May all walks be this good.
If not, we can all do our own wee bit to leave places better. Picking up a couple of pieces on every walk, 25,000 dog owners & counting, to protect animals, communities & our beautiful environment.💚🐾
Come along & do your wee bit along with other members of our community tomorrow, Sat 5th August 10am-11am. It’s good for the soul to spend an hour focusing on nothing else except doing something positive for our beautiful #environment. 📷
