This I know is a topic close to every nature loving person in the world. My husband and I are lucky as we live a few minutes walk from the beach. We have been doing mini beach cleans for a long time. Just picking up the plastic as we potter across the beach and it is amazing just how much can be cleared in this way.
I am now well and truly addicted to the activity and use a smartphone app called Tidal Revival that helps you log the type of plastics found and the amount. It's a free app available for iPhones and android phones too. If you have a minute some time it is worth downloading and see what you think. The app was only launched at the end of last summer and so is in its infancy. It can be used anywhere in the world. It was developed mainly for beaches but green spaces now are being included because as we all know plastic waste can find its way into our rivers, seas and oceans no matter where it starts off from.
Local businesses get on board by sponsoring the app and offering discounts to its users. It's a great idea I think. Each piece of plastic cleared earns you one point and then if you like you can exchange your points for discounts. Would love you to try it out and share if you find it useful. It's aim really is to get as many people as possible clearing plastic out of our environment.
Will try to upload some pics when I learn how.
