How can you help?

Here are some simple suggestions to foster litter free communities.

Enjoy your beach and leave it clean for othersLights, camera, action...! Watch our DVD  and put what you learn into action!

When you are going to the countryside, the beach or any other open area bing an empty plastic bag with you so that you can bring you litter home.  Remember the anti-litter moto "Leave only footprints, take only memories!"

If you see someone littering report it to your Local Authority.

Remember to ALWAYS Put litter in it's place. Public bins are plentiful, seek one out for your rubbish.
