Beauty expert Liz Earle volunteered as a litter picker on a Bournemouth beach as part of a campaign to encourage the public to think about the impact of litter on the marine environment across the UK. It was the final day of the Great British Beach Clean, an effort by the Marine Conservation Society to remove litter from Britain’s beaches that ran during September(16th-19th), the campaign also recorded the change in the amount of litter from previous years.

Key Takeaways:

• Liz Earle, an internationally recognised beauty expert, joined volunteers for a litter pick on a wet and windy beach yesterday.
• The aim was to gather as many discarded plastic drinks bottles, carrier bags and other litter as possible, which had washed up on the beach
• It was supported by water filter firm, BRITA, as a way to make members of the public stop and think about the amount of litter being left in the area and on beaches across the UK.

“The increasing amount of pollution in the UK, particularly from single-use plastic water bottles, is a major concern. Asking people to reduce their plastic use, while considering sustainable alternatives is key if we are to protect the environment for future generations.”
