Last year , I did a wee interview with Shain Denovan from Scottish Coastal Clean Up for their Shaping Our Shores documentary whilst we were all busy cleaning beaches around the Wester Ross Marine Protect Area.
When Shain asked, “What can an everyday person do just to kind of help reduce the plastic in the oceans?”
Finlay’s reply was two fold!
“It sounds boring and simple, but stop using as much plastic it can be difficult in some circumstances but just reduce the amount you’re using. On top of that not everyone lives by the sea so not everyone can do a beach clean, but even just doing a litter pick would around your local area is so important because at the end of the day no matter where litter ends up it will go through the sewers or wherever and it will eventually end up in the sea. So just doing a litter pick in your local area will make a massive difference!”
The interview went live yesterday –
