Litter Documenting Kit

Hi everyone
Yesterday started with a beach clean at Musselburgh. For the first hour we did a 100m transect, documenting every thing we picked up, this data is used by Marine Conservation Society to lobby manufacturers and governments about the types of plastic litter that are an issue - hence plastic bag tax. They are now lobbying against 'flushable' wet wipes (of which we found dozens - yeuch) and for a plastic bottle deposit scheme.  Then we were joined by dozens of school children and we did a general blitz on the beach litter.  The children were really surprised to find lighters and wet wipes!

Sky Ocean - who are filming us for one of the series they are creating - coincided their round Britain with ours showing off their giant plastic whale, which represents all the plastic that lands in the sea per day.

Then it was a dash by taxi to Holyrood. See next post
