Litter Free Planet

Estimates suggest there are 8.7 million species on Earth. Of those 8,700,000 species, how many are responsible for litter and marine debris? Just one. Homo sapiens.

A lovely morning to join fellow @ANDborough #BeachCleaners for a clean-up of Cunningburn, Strangford Lough. 13 bags of litter + large items lifted from the coastline. Lots of plastic products removed #LeaveNoTrace 🚮 #LoveWhereYouVisit 🏖 #ConnectWithNature 🦆🪸 🐠🦀

Litterpicking I find the weirdest things, here 2 Clusia Rosea plants in a Lego bag deep under all this mess in this overflowing bin. They are tropical houseplants known as autograph trees. Took them home.

This photo is from a winter litter pick with volunteers in Colchester. Sadly it's not the first time we've found a small mammal trapped in a carelessly discarded bottle.

In 2018, research revealed that an estimated 2.9 million small mammals, living along roadsides, are killed by littering from vehicles every year 😥 Litter is potentially deadly to small mammals such as shrews, voles and mice 🐀 Picking up litter helps to protect wildlife 🚮♻️
