Poo and Paper, everything else in the bin! #WorldOceansDay
@WaterWatchdog
Today is #WorldOceansDay but every day your habits decide the kind of
world we live in and pass on. For years we have been urging people not
to flush or pour things instead #binit4beaches to protect #water quality
and stop plastic ending up in rivers and the sea
@EnvAgency
Help keep our oceans plastic free this #WorldOceansDay. To protect the
environment don't use your sink, drain or toilet as a rubbish bin.
During the last @mcsuk Great British Beach Clean 8.5% of items found
had been incorrectly flushed. Please #binit4beaches
@theriverstrust
Did you know that every minute one lorry's-worth of plastic is dumped
into the sea! That means that by 2050, we'll have more plastic than fish
in the sea! #WorldOceansDay
