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 – at Kesgrave, England

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.

Incredibly exciting news - and it can't come soon enough! Producers of packaging will be required to reimburse the full cost of the collection, sorting, disposal and recycling of what they place on the market.. including plastics! #turnofftheplastictap

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🌊

Most ‘paper’ cups contain a plastic lining. Billions of them are used in the UK each year. This needs to change.
To reduce #PlasticPollution, we need to switch to reusable cups.

Shocking! Supermarkets flood Britain with 59 BILLION pieces of plastic each year. #OurPlasticFeedback - this needs to end!
To stop avoidable plastic polluting our oceans, supermarkets must radically reduce waste, redesign packaging & take more responsibility. #WarOnPlastic

So @Tesco say that they could remove plastic packaging tomorrow if it was the right thing to do. I think it’s the right thing to do. I reckon @itsanitarani thinks it’s the right thing to do. What do YOU think? #WarOnPlastic #OurPlasticFeedback
