@Kent_Online If we paid more tax and gave even more wealth to the 0.1 % private jet-setting global elite we could stop these bananas growing in this poor man's garden.

scary amount #marineplastic washing up on our beaches this week. Poss due to seasonal weather. Most of it old - degrading into #microplastics. Some #CSO sewage. Majority from careless #beach users. Volunteers & #SouthernWater sponsored cleaner been busy clearing it. #thanet

#BotanyBay brothers and local #beachclean volunteers, Reuben and Lyndon, did spectacularly well at this weekend's British Schools Modern #Biathlon Championship in Telford. Great role models for all kids today! @bbcsoutheast https://t.co/gcW1Ivmwqg

@ShepherdNeame please ask your contractors at Botany Bay to stop site waste blowing on to clifftop and beaches. #thanet #beaches #PlasticPollution @EnforcementTdc

Our #SouthernWater sponsored #beachcleaner out as usual today. SW funding ends in May. No word if it will continue. After the progress of the last few years it would be a tragedy if tons of litter were once again left to simply pile up on our beaches & clifftops @cmackinlay

Volunteers in the community fruit orchard/ #wildflower meadow at Knockholt Rd over the weekend. Spreading tree mulch around the @Growatbrogdale trees and fruit bushes. #Kent #Thanet #volunteering

Beautiful, foggy conditions this afternoon here in #BotanyBay #Thanet #Kent as our @southernwater sponsored #beachclean chap is out and about litter picking the clifftop and #beaches .

[Friends of Botany Bay & Kingsgate CIC @botany_of]

Winter storms have brought more #oceanplastic ashore along our coastline. Well done to our #DukeofEdinburgh volunteers and @SouthernWater sponsored beach cleaners, collecting up sack-loads more than usual over recent days, especially in this icy weather. #thanet #beachclean

[Friends of Botany Bay & Kingsgate CIC @botany_of]

@ThanetCouncil The melted plastic and assorted debris and other debris from
the portaloo fire at #BotanyBay has been dug out by a concerned local resident ;-). Over to TDC now to collect it please! Bottom of Botany Road. Thanks!

Video, taken today, demonstrates problem of plastic pollution around #Thanet's coastline. Thanks to our #DukeofEdinburghAward candidate, Josh, for sharing. @SouthernWater funding for our #beachclean team is helping, but more needs to be done. @cmackinlay @bbcsoutheast

Our @SouthernWater funded beach cleaner put in another 5 hours this morning from #JossBay to Botany Bay. Funding for this runs out in May next year. Hopefully we will be able to encourage them to continue. It's making a big difference to the #ecology and beauty of our #beaches

[Friends of Botany Bay & Kingsgate CIC @botany_of]

Our @southernwater sponsored beach cleaner had another busy morning along from
Kingsgate and Botany. Three sackloads of litter, including plastics and fishing gear. #beachclean #oceanplastics #Kent #Thanet

@thanetric @IsleThanetNews Possibly leaking from WW2 shipwreck (allegedly) but who knows? https://t.co/ndI7staokh

20+ volunteers cleaned #BotanyBay #KingsgateBay and Foreness yesterday. Leaving beaches pristine for residents to enjoy this Winter. #Kent #Thanet @IsleThanetNews
