Before #COVID19 hit, it felt like the world was starting to wake up to the harm of plastics

But with the arrival of #coronavirus,
single use plastic is now seen as ‘safer’ & millions of masks & gloves are ending up in our oceans

We cannot plead ignorance

We can no longer afford apathy

In the UK, each of us discards about 100kg of plastic per year, mostly in packaging

There’s a ‘trash vortex' / ‘plastic soup’ the size of Texas in the Pacific where there are 6 kilos of plastic for every kilo of plankton

I arrive at #ChesselBay for the beach clean and... 1st sight, things don't look as bad as they have in the past. I spot a bird pelvis in the water...
But dig a little in the substrate and... Oh dear, epic #plasticpollution...
Over 70 of us are on site. There's a really good turnout of younger people - that's really encouraging. Everyone works hard. #chesselbay #beachclean #plasticpollution
