Dear Editor
Thank you very much for your choice,
Our oceans are the victims of pollution. Plastic soup and global pollution must be dealt with internationally
What you can do
Preventing marine pollution is vital for the well-being of the sea, the marine life it supports and us Cleaner oceans mean we can continue to enjoy our beaches for swimming, fishing and recreation.
There’s plenty you can do, either on your own or in a group, to make a huge difference.
1. Organise a beach clean-up.
2. Reduce your rubbish.
3. Make sure only rain goes down the drain. Most drains flow straight to the sea … which means we could end up swimming in anything that goes down them!
4. Take care of a local stream.
5. Find out more about your local beach.

A few tips:
Avoid products that contain microbeads
If you do have plastic bags, it is best to reuse them as much as possible. They are also great for holding fruit and vegetables – remember to always select fruit and vegetables that are not packaged in plastic.
If you can, always go for environmentally friendly and organic products. They are better for our earth and they use as little plastic as possible.
Don’t chew gum. All chewing gum is made of a synthetic rubber and is actually a type of plastic.
Buy liquid products in cartons rather than in plastic bottles.
Diapers are a major source of waste. It is estimated that 7.6 billion pounds of diaper trash is thrown away annually. Rather use cotton and washable diapers – not only healthier for the environment, but for your budget too.
