From a distance, these beaches could star in a Scottish tourism campaign, wild, beautiful, seemingly untouched. But as we walk or boat in to clean them, the heartbreaking truth comes into focus: plastic pollution is everywhere. Nature deserves better.

Some days it’s massive creels and tyres. Other days, it’s heartbreak in miniature, like this tiny bay in the NW of Scotland. What we found was devastating: a shoreline blanketed in plastic confetti. Microplastics everywhere!

* Of course it should go without saying that preventing it getting there in the first place shop is the top priority. A lot of this material is likely quite historic but will continue to potentially harm wildlife for years to come unless removed!

Tiny bits of old degrading fishing net & rope made for hard picking at Badentarbet Bay this weekend, but if every person stopping to admire the views were to just pick up a handful of it to dispose of this summer, then imagine the difference we could make. #everylittlebithelps

A couple of pieces of #litter on every walk is all we ask to protect animals, communities & the #environment. Not a big ask if you love dogs. We have a vested interest don’t we? Join 26,000 dog owners removing 38+ million pieces every year…a few bits at a time. dogsofx #snow
