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

[Paws On Plastic #pawsonplastic @pawsonplastic]

Strong waves at #stonehaven beach this morning. Love watching the tides here.

What will they throw up? Looking forward to the #beachclean on Saturday.

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

[Paws On Plastic #pawsonplastic @pawsonplastic]

I’d filled 3 dog bags by the end of our walk in #Dunnottar Woods #Stonehaven yesterday mostly from the road.

I had to leave the #litter in the quarry as I don’t like taking the dogs near the fire pit. Will return without dogs. #tuesdayvibe #dogsofx #springcleanscotland

It was a bit blowy down #stonehaven beach this afternoon! 🌊

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. 💚🐾

[Paws On Plastic #pawsonplastic @pawsonplastic]

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.💚🐾

[Plastic Free Stonehaven @PFStonehaven]

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. 📷
