Why?
Plastic rubbish can kill wildlife like turtles, seals and seabirds by drowning or starving them. Plastic can entangle wildlife, making is so difficult to swim they can no longer catch enough food, or they drown. Plastic can look like food, and when swallowed can block digestive tracts or permanently fill animals’ stomachs so they no can longer eat and starve to death.
How?
Every day: Pick up little pieces of plastic on the beach, pick up any litter you see, reduce your plastic use and make sure all rubbish is recycled or put in the bin.
