3 Pieces of Plastic

Clearing up pieces of plastic tree protectors at The People’s Wood at Santon. Plus annoying dumping of poo bags in a pile by the gate. Take it home or use the bin! @UnescoMan @manxnature #3pop #3piecesofplastic

Beautiful scenery. Shame about the litter! There are bins all along Marine Drive, pure laziness. Binned along with more on the way home @UnescoMan #3pop #3piecesofplastic #loveiom

@russtxy @UnescoMan No foxes on the Isle of Man! Just lazy people.

@3POPIOM @UnescoMan Foxes get into ones like this near me and make a big mess emptying them

Litter pick on Marine Drive this morning. Loads of litter with 20 metres of this bin. Pure laziness! @UnescoMan #binit #3pop #3piecesofplastic #unescobiosphere

Litter picking at Santon this morning. All binned.

Picked up some bits in Port Erin Bay this morning before going for a swim #3pop #3piecesofplastic

A quick litter pick before @noblesparkrun this morning. Grabbed some more bits on the way to the bin #3pop #3piecesofplastic

Glorious morning picking up plastic on Port Soderick beach. Looks like someone’s 🐕 is missing a couple of toys. All cleared and placed in the @BuddiesIOM bin @UnescoMan #3pop #isleofman

Well done @iomdefa A doggie bag bin at The People’s Wood. Let’s hope people use it! @UnescoMan

Fair play to @iomdefa who have agreed to install a bin and some signage encouraging people to take their litter home. Education is the key! Thanks guys 😀 (This pic was yesterday pre-Storm Amy) @UnescoMan

Picking up more dog 💩 Today 2 bags left on the path plus 2 more bags of 💩 People are so lazy and ruin the place for everyone else @iomdefa Please install some bins at the People’s Wood! @UnescoMan

The People’s Wood in Santon is becoming more popular for walkers. With that comes more litter and dog 💩 Come on @iomdefa we need rubbish and 💩 bins there to try and encourage people to dispose of their waste responsibly! @UnescoMan

Picking up litter on walks around the People’s Wood in Santon. More use = more litter, dog 💩 and even worse dog 💩 in a bag. Need litter and doggie bins

Great that more people are using The People’s Wood. Shame they aren’t taking their litter and dog 💩 home with them! @UnescoMan @iomdefa

Todays 3 pieces of plastic picked up in Santon on a lovely afternoon for a walk with the hounds #3pop @UnescoMan

Why is it always a f*****g balloon release? 🤷‍♂️

@trish1400 @ManxRadio Non-lazy people would take their litter home to bin it rather than leave it alongside a bin 🤷‍♂️

@3POPIOM @ManxRadio Full bins is definitely an issue though, providing more bins is going to help, even if that's because it means lazy people don't have to walk as far.

Port Erin Commissioners launch 'bin it or take it home' litter campaign🚯 manxradio.com/news/isle-of-m…

@trish1400 @ManxRadio No. 90%+ is down to lazy people.

@ManxRadio I reckon 90% of "litter" is due to full bins and seagulls. More bins or more regular collections would be more effective than a public awareness campaign.

Our daily 3 pieces of plastic picked up on Port Soderick beach this morning. All now binned #3pop

Great to have some decent weather but it brings out the worst in people. Port Soderick prom has had 3 fires lit plus 2 on the beach, broken glass bottle, lots of litter, plus nails from the pallets scattered everywhere. Dog walkers beware! 😡 #3pop #3piecesofplastic
