Huge thanks to everyone that came along to a chilly beach clean at Warsash on the 28th of November.

55 amazing volunteers came along including Locks Heath Infants eco-warriors! We picked up 50kg of rubbish from the shore including a brand new Nike shoe, lots of fireworks-related waste, loads of spent shotgun cartridge shells, lots of broken glass and a strange patch of nails. All alongside the usual offenders including sweet wrappers, plastic drinks bottles, plastic food packaging and plastic-based rope.

Thank you so much everyone – we really appreciate you turning out on a Sunday morning and loved meeting you all. Keep an eye on our social media and website upcoming events to find out when our next clean-ups are.

    The Ghost of Christmas Waste

    The festive season can generate lots of waste, but the Final Straw Foundation offers some tips to help curb this.

Donating unwanted gifts instead of trashing them, as well as being mindful of Christmas food waste, can make a difference. Also, reducing plastic waste at Christmas is crucial, with options such as kerbside recycling, and plastic-free alternatives for gifts and food. Visit the full blog post to find out more!
