Back in Sept '19 @sascampaigns & Platic Free Minehead named us as #PlasticFree Champions. Now Plastic Free Exmoor have recognised us as a Plastic Free Business.
Keep on battling single use plastics.

Is this anyway to treat the wild & green spaces you have missed so much?

SAS patron, Prince Charles, is to give the opening speech at #ClimateActionWeek later today focusing on the need for "swift and immediate action, at an unprecedented pace and scale" or "miss the window of opportunity to 'reset' for a more sustainable and inclusive future."

Our hard working street cleaning team removed a staggering 11 tonnes of waste from our beach on Thursday.

It's heartbreaking to think so many people who love to use our beach don't care how filthy they leave it.

They should be ashamed.

We can’t just build bigger bins - we have to be smarter than that. ‘Litter’ just ends up landfilled or burnt. #circulareconomy #ZeroWaste #PlasticPollution #BreakFreeFromPlastic

[Cllr Phélim Mac Cafferty @Phelimmac]

⚠️Heavily littered seafront every single day

🚮The council needs to take decisive action now & use the powers it has more effectively- more patrols, enforcement & fines

To protect our fragile sea

Work will take place on Sunday to create a new temporary cycle lane on the A270 Old Shoreham Road, freeing up space for cyclists in response to government guidance on physical distancing and changes to how people are currently travelling around the city.

Heartbreaking. 😢 Around for 200 million years, now gone forever.

The paddlefish’s extinction should serve as a wake-up call to protect other freshwater species. #TuesdayMotivation
