We've already phased out plastic cups and straws and we're looking to do more

Thank you to everyone that came to our litter pick on Saturday! We had a turnout of over 60 people and collected over 6,000 pieces of litter! The most common items were cigarettes, plastic and food packaging! #plasticfreecheltenham#PlasticFreeCommunities#plasticfree#litterpick

Hello!

#beachcleanup Day 127๐
Another day full of small pieces of broken plastics.
This is why we have over 5 trillion pieces of plastic in our oceans. Just one piece of waste will slowly break down into potentially thousands of pieces.
