Tiny animals saved from the waves. The sea lion is over 60 years old and the giraffe nearly 50 years old. Both were free in cereal packets. All found on Cornish beaches. #WorldOceansDay #plasticheritage #Anthropocene

Sometimes, when it comes to preventing polystyrene reaching the ocean you just have to get on you hands and knees and get stuck in. 💪🏼✊🏻👍🏻🌍🌊🌍 #worldOceansDay #plasticpollutuon #bethechange #UnitedAgaunstLitter

Amazing news! #nomorefracking
⚡ YOU'VE WON! WE'VE WON! ⚡ The government has just announced an official end to their support for #fracking in England, after years of tireless campaigning. Fracking isn't wanted, isn't needed, and now - isn't happening. Huge congratulations to all amazing campaigners! 🎉🍻💪

Yes! Tesco will remove one billion pieces of plastic from its products by the end of 2020. 🥕🍅🥔🍏 This is the bold action we need to see across industry. We're in a plastic pollution crisis, big brands need massively reduce their packaging & quickly. https://t.co/kfJPyxJawZ

The supermarket will swap plastic bags for paper ones, scrap plastic trays from ready meals and bin sporks and straws.

GREAT NEWS to see water quality, plastic pollution & habitat restoration destined to have legally binding targets in #QueensSpeech. We’re campaigning hard on all of these fronts to make sure these targets are as radical as possible at this time of #ClimateCrisis. #GenerationSea🌊

Well done to @CharmouthHCC on collecting 3,500 nurdles and bio beads on their August bank holiday #nurdle hunt!
The results are in and we collected 3,500 nurdles and bio beads from our August bank holiday nurdle hunt. Well done to those who gave up time during their holidays to help collect these micro plastics from our beaches. We now have 48,600 in our nurdle tube in the centre!
