HELPING TO CLEAN UP OUR COAST AND COUNTRYSIDE
This weekend saw an organised litter pick in and around the small seaside town of Watchet. A small group of volunteers turned out on a sunny afternoon to help and and make the streets litter free with plenty of cigarette butts to collect which many don't see as litter but with the filter containing plastic and toxins, would be harmful to our sea life as they make their short journey down a land drain and into the Bristol Channel. Flower beds and other vegetation can hide other litter including bottles, cans and other general waste including a crisp packet we found dating b ack 30 years to 1992. After a couple of hours spent collecting the litter and sorting it for recycling, the town looked a lot tidier than it did before we arrived!
