ECO WARRIOR IN TWO MINUTES

Eco Living Editor Ellen Tout makes short work of a clever campaign that cleans up our world

I AM SO INSPIRED by the work of The 2 Minute Foundation, creators of #2Minute Beachclean. The charity has beach, river and park cleaning stations across the UK, so we can all take steps to clean up our environment if we have just two minutes to spare – and who doesn’t?

The charity’s founder, Martin Dorey, says: ‘The smallest actions can make the biggest difference, and it’s important to take the time, even if it’s just two minutes – two minutes of litter-picking, two minutes of positivity, two minutes for something that makes you happy.’ Even better, the clean-up stations are now circular and made from marine litter!
