🚨📰: BREAKING NEWS: plastic carrier bags on UK beaches reduced by 80% according to a new study by Marine Conservation Society. The MCS conducted a survey comparing carrier bags found on our beaches in 2014 and 10 years later in 2024 around the country and noticed a staggering 80% reduction. This proves 2 things: 1: Mass consumer behaviour changes are possible. 2: If we ALL adapt to small lifestyle changes this leads to HUGE collective impact. Imagine if we could get a filter into/into every laundry waste water outlet and the impact we would have in preventing the leading cause of primary ocean microplastics… ➡️ Cleaner-Seas.com Domestic, industrial and commercial microplastic filtration. Together we can turn the tide on ocean pollution 🙌🏻 #Plastic #OceanPlastic #Microplastics #OceanConservation #OceanPollution #CleanSeas #CleanerSeas #SingleUse

We cannot turn back time, but we can grow forests, revive water sources, and bring back soils. We are the generation that can make peace with land. Here are a few things you can do while visiting our beautiful beaches. 1. “Dodge the Dunes” by avoiding any walking, parking or driving on any grass or plants on the east side of A1A. Use the beach walkovers & access points. 2. Take photos and leave only footprints. 3. Pack it in and pack it out. Picnics on the beach are fun, but garbage isn’t! Make sure to pack everything out that you brought in. In doing so, you’ll be preventing more pollution in the aquatic environment. 4. Fill any holes you make. Not only are holes dangerous to humans, but also to Sea Turtles. #itrippalmcoastflaglerbeach #worldenvironment #flaglerbeach #palmcoast #fyp #fypviral
