The #GreatBritishBeachClean is this weekend 🙌
Surveying hundreds of beaches across the UK to create a report on what we find and use this to push for new laws surrounding ocean plastics.
Will you help us #fightplastic?

It is true. Do you know how much plastic is in your clothes? Polyester, Acrylic, Nylon.. are all #plastic. Try to choose cotton, hemp, wool, viscose...ideally #organic. And remember less. Invest to the future.
Snapshot from one of our #BeachCleans
While this stuff is getting into the seas we'll keep clearing it up when the sea dumps it back on the beach, but we all need to Reduce - LESS Manufacturing and Consumption of unnecessary single use plastics
