Bravo! More people should do this. I was walking along the shore the other evening after a busy day of beach revellers when I came across a massive pile of plastic trash, bags, cartons, bottles, burst inflatables, plus cans all just tucked away in the shade of one of the groynes just by the waters edge... in the hope that no one would notice it
I was also a bit miffed that none of the other "adults" on the beach, and there were still plenty of them, hadn't thought to pick it up and take it to the big bin barely 30 footsteps away at the top of the beach. I guess they were just going to leave it there to get washed out to sea as a matter of principle. Some principle?  
I binned it. I've been thinking I might wander down there and try to do that more often | |||

"I plan to make it my goal when I buy loose fruit or vegetable not to put it in those flimsy plastic bags, but to use the brown paper bags that Tesco send with my online deliveries. I always recycle plastic bags until they are ripped we all need to do more so well done OP for bringing this topic up " | |||

"I keep my village clear of all litter and also pick up dog poo left on paths. It's a gross job but if I don't do it, it just gets left. I'm trying to catch the people who regularly park their car at the sports field , eat Macky D's, then chuck everything out the car window. There is a bin there! Pure ignorance. " Agree .

"I'm reducing my plastic use by using Lush shampoo bars at the moment. They supposedly last as long as three big bottles of shampoo and use no plastic at all, you just buy a reusable metal tin for them instead. " I moved to shampoo bars, conditioner bars and soap bars earlier this year. The shampoo bars last much longer than 3 shampoo bottles. The conditioners last ages but aren't that easy to use, so I'm currently supplementing them with the conditioners still in the toiletries store cupboard. Olive oil soap is better than anything I've ever used. It doesn't dry you, leaves you squeaky clean and lasts for ages. I think I have avoided adding 12 plastic bottles to the pile since I started. I also pick up litter. | |||

"When I was unemployed I asked the local council if I could do a litter-pick as I felt I should be earning any money I got... the council refused saying they wouldn't insure me, and the Benefits agency told me if I did they would stop my benefits! I thought it was a great idea, but I seemed to be the only one! "That is so fuckin typical of the people who run this country. Kudos to you for trying | |||

"As well as picking up an extra piece of plastic why not use less plastic when we go shopping. Buy loose fruit and veg and put it in your shopping bag without putting it in another plastic bag first. Some places will now let you take containers for fish and meat as well. Lots of things used to be in paper bags or loose that are now wrapped in plastic. " There needs to be some education with packing meat. Saw an article a while ago where people were getting ill because they were reusing bags that had raw meat in them.. | |||
