The Plastic Challenge
HELP US TACKLE PLASTIC POLLUTION THIS AUGUST!
Dear Supporter,
This August we are taking on plastic pollution by launching the Plastic Challenge!
Many people don't realise that our plastic litter can impact marine life, even if we live many miles away from the sea.
Some 2 million tonnes of plastic enters the sea from rivers in the UK every year.
Globally, plastic kills a million seabirds and 100,000 sea mammals, turtles and fish per year.
That's why it is so important for us to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Responsibly Dispose of our plastic and only ever flush the 3 P's - pee, poo and paper!
When you sign up to the Plastic Challenge, we will send you weekly emails with information, resources and motivation to get you started on your plastic-free journey. We will also be including a challenge for you to take part in that week!
The first 50 people to complete all the challenges and a short survey will win some plastic-free goodies!
We can't wait to take on this challenge with you and we'll be here with you every step of the way!
In the meantime, check out our useful 10 step guide on how to reduce your plastic pollution.
We would love to see how the Plastic Challenge is going for you, so remember to share on social media! Tag @KeepBritainTidy and use the hashtag #PlasticChallenge.
Best wishes,
Zephie
On behalf of the Keep Britain Tidy Team
