Paws on Plastic

It’s #RandomActsofKindnessDay.

Popping a couple of pieces of litter in a spare bag only takes a second & is kind to wildlife, your community & the environment.

Share the kindness with a friend today.

Litter breeds #litter Picking it up reduces the amount dropped.

Litter’s become so normalised- folk walk past it, pretend they don’t see it, sit among it, stand in it, kick it as they go by & faaaaar too many drop it! What can we do!?

#Litter ISN’T normal. Pick it up when you can. Lead & others will follow. Together we’re a powerful force!🐾 #dundee #scotland

We all deserve a clean & safe #environment & so do animals

It’s so simple to play our part every day when we’re out anyway. It just takes a minute.

What difference have you made today?

Sunshine!

Amazing the difference it makes esp when it’s been gone for soooo looooong!! In #Stonehaven today it’s not only the Christmas tree spreading light & you can feel the difference- the smiles, folk stopping to chat

If it’s the same with you do you see more #litter? #aberdeenshire #scotland

Thanks so much. Every bit makes a difference. 🙏🐾

Why do people want to join us picking up #litter on #dog walks?

& what’s the effect on them personally?

These are some results of last year’s Members Survey.

What resonates most with you?

We’re running a new Survey soon & would love to hear your views to shape our plans. 👀

Make environmental action a simple every day habit🐕🐾

It only takes a minute to pick up a few bits of #litter but it has a huge effect when thousands of us do it every day. It reduces the amount of litter dropped & starts a ‘reduce single use plastics’ mindset. Join us! #dogs

I could only do one side of the road as there’s no pavement on the other. Strangest find was a pack of chicken thrown from a car!!?!

The best moment was a chat with a lovely man who said well done & that he also often picked up litter.

What difference have YOU made today?

It’s your choice what kind of area you live in.

Litter ISN’T normal, you don’t need to accept it

Don’t walk by

Litter breeds more #litter as it gives an excuse for others to drop it

Remove litter & less gets dropped

2 bags of waste (1 recycling) removed in #stonehaven 4.5kgs
#aberdeenshire

Today I finished clearing the bushes by the top car park of #Dunnottar Woods #Stonehaven of the last bottles & cans thrown further in. The flytipping’s still there despite being told it had been cleared.

I also removed 3 abandoned poo bags & a few wrappers. Another VERY wet day! #aberdeenshire

They certainly are.

There have sadly been young birds found dead on #stonehaven beach

Today a young #puffin was found struggling but still alive. A huge thanks to Fiona & James who safely transported ‘Mr Puffles’ to #newarcwildliferescue where he’s being cared for. Here’s hoping he’s ok.🤞 #aberdeenshire #scotland

Brilliant! 👏🐾

Thanks to all our 48 AMAZING volunteers who turned out on yet another extremely challenging wet & windy day for the #Stonehaven #beachclean with #PlasticFreeStonehaven

189kgs of waste was removed inc massive amounts of fishing gear & textiles!! A really brilliant haul!
#aberdeenshire #scotland

It’s #BeachClean Day today (Sat 7th Feb) 10-11am in #Stonehaven with Plastic Free Stonehaven

No surprise, it’s going to be WET but the tide will be out & it’s a great chance to clear some of the waste that’s been thrown up in the wild seas.

Any time you can spare would be fab!

#Stonehaven has taken a battering from the snow, rain & wind & many streets are a mess. I cleared a bag of bottles/cans by #DunnottarWoods then 8.4kgs of #litter incl recycling & 7 vapes.

An hour in the rain. Litter breeds litter, removing it reduces the amount dropped. #aberdeenshire #scotland

Stonehaven woman inspires dog walkers to pick up millions of pieces of litter per year Forced to give up work through ill health, Marion Montgomery started to pick up litter on her daily dog walks and encouraged others to do the same.

Many thanks to Susy at @pressandjournal.co.uk for the feature on the charity this weekend which I’ve just become aware of!

Thanks also to Arlene on @northsound.bsky.social Breakfast Show & across the network for the shout out this morning. Delighted!
