Love the sea, the coast and the forest. Hate waste. Enjoy learning new crafts and finding new ways to inspire interest in nature.

Water’s maybe not your top subject @giftedgardener0 but this is the best thing ever #Pennington #Community #Allotment. Water connected today. No more choices eg do we water peas or Borlotti today? Huge thx @WestSolentSolar,Michael White & lym&penn TC. Pls tell em @jackdaviesld!

In light of the #plasticproblem #ClimateEmergency & huge decline in #wildlife, how can #plastic garden plants be ‘green’ @hexhamcourant? Plastic gardens will only end up in landfill not contribute to biodiversity. We need to reconnect with nature! #wilderFuture @campervanliving

Look @charlesdowding @Steph_Hafferty Pam plants out new ‘no dig’ bed w Borlotti beans (our own seed). #proud. Much hard work done by @NewForestMencap Tony. Now let’s see! 2nd bed in prep. HEAVY rain stopped play @giftedgardener0 @LGSpace @sarahrix1 @makinggardens

Tony @NewForestMencap joins us #Pennington #community #allotment. This is his invention: a portable greenhouse constructed from 100% scrap in the rain. Plse give him a retweet: he’d love that! @LymoTweetUp @SRV4KES @Saralimback @B_Strawbridge @GreenHampshire @LizRolfs @rogersfmo

Not just the Arabian Gulf - overfishing is the single biggest immediate threat to the world's ocean. https://t.co/64KU6FjuGV

We bumped into someone yesterday who had filled a bag with these #necklaceshell egg collars, thinking they were litter. Advice is that they should either be put back in the sea or buried in sand close to the water's edge. Each contains tens of thousands of eggs. #moonsnail

@KateJCole Ahhhh and all that plastic waste!!

[Sarah Fawkes @SRV4KES]

@EveryCanCounts ?!?!

[Sarah Fawkes @SRV4KES]

OMG doing my litter pick and found this - aluminium can with a resealing plastic lid !! Guessing #notrecyclable #pringleseffect #mixedmaterials #monstermadness @MonsterEnergy @Lussas @AluproUK @rogersfmo @aluproKate

[Sarah Fawkes @SRV4KES]

@NewForestSussed @MonsterEnergy @Lussas @AluproUK @rogersfmo ? does it make them impossible to recycle?

[Lego Lost At Sea @LegoLostAtSea]

Nearly 22 years after a cargo spill in 1997, Lego is still washing up. What will happen to the contents of the 270 containers that fell off container ship MSC Zoe yesterday? Will they still be washing ashore for decades to come?

We’re excited to share our new winter wildlife challenge with you – the 7 Days of Wild Christmas. Can you do something wild every day from 25-31 December? Join in: https://t.co/TE1GlPNHWZ #7DaysofWildChristmas

[Lego Lost At Sea @LegoLostAtSea]

What's in the plastic soup? Random finds from this week's plastic tide, including Lego from the 1997 spill and, beneath the leaf, the remains of a #Hooksett disk. In 2011, millions of these disks were accidentally released into a US river. We often find them here in Cornwall.

[Sarah Fawkes @SRV4KES]

@GeorgeMonbiot To me its a process - we needed the 5 and half episodes of BP2 to connect with the sea and its wildlife... then we were hit with the reality of our actions, which didn't take long. No connection - no reaction.

Spotted in Western Australia to protect a nature reserve from a storm drain run off after heavy rains.
Genius!
