Spotted in Haworth, we love sarcastic animals 😄 Think before you drop!

What a save! Our friends at the @RSPCA_official rescued this tiny fox cub who was tangled in football netting in Surrey. Netting can be really dangerous for animals, so be sure to pack your netting away after the game! ⚽

Fantastic infographic and article about countryside litter in the @RamblersGB Walk magazine. The numbers are concerning, but we can change this together!

4 people collected 8 bags yesterday on the canal towpath, Hollins Lane, Station Road and parts of Holmes Road. A great job done, however a shame to see so much litter when some of these areas have been done recently. Come on Sowerby Bridge, your town is what you make it!

⏰ ATTENTION ⏰ We're launching #TheBigPlasticCount - the UK's biggest ever investigation into household plastic waste and we need YOU to join us! Together we can uncover the truth about what we throw away and use our evidence to push for real change 👉 act.gp/37VaSvD

Litter-picking isn't just good for the environment, it's good for us too. Over half of last year's #GBSpringClean participants agreed that taking part helped them to be more active. Join this year's #GBSpringClean, get outdoors, and get active: keepbritaintidy.org/gbspringclean

Please help bees, butterflies and birds by reducing the mowing this year! By leaving a patch of grass in your garden to flower you'll be helping wildlife while reducing effort, cost and carbon emissions. Cartoon courtesy @sepponet #Nature #ClimateAction⁠ ⁠#biodiversity
