HELP PROTECT OUR COASTS

Instead of wearing single-use face masks, buy a reusable face mask made from safe, washable fabrics, or create your own. For the UK government’s guide on making a cloth face covering, visit Gov.uk/government/ publications/how-to-wear-andmake-a-cloth-face-covering.

If you need to wear latex gloves, always dispose of them responsibly in a covered waste bin at home. Singleuse PPE is not recyclable, and the Wildlife Trusts are asking everyone to look after wildlife by taking all litter home.

For more information, visit Wildlifetrusts.org.

To call for a ban on all singleuse plastic, sign the petition at Petition.parliament.uk/ petitions/300152.

While councils have been overwhelmed during lockdown, volunteers have taken on the task of litter-picking. To volunteer for your local area in England, Scotland or Wales, visit Keepwalestidy. com, Keepbritaintidy.com or Keepscotlandbeautiful.com.
