Plastic is forever, but our sea life is not. Plastic debris can be fatal for marine animals. If you’re going to the beach, keep our waters clean and don’t leave any litter behind. Share this video to inspire others to protect our ocean. #WorldOceanDay #BinIt4Beaches

To celebrate #WorldOceanDay, we've developed an interactive learning tool for primary and secondary school students that teaches them about plastic pollution, climate change and household waste. Find out more: preventingplasticpollution.com/environment-ag… Preventing Plastic Pollution

Tragically, there have been a number of drownings during the recent spell of hot weather. Despite the warm air, the water can be dangerously cold with strong currents. If you get in trouble in the water, #FloatToLive. Lean back, extend your arms and legs, and float.

Many surface water drains go directly to rivers or the sea, so pouring waste liquids down can affect water quality and harm wildlife. Be a #WaterWarrior and dispose of waste liquids responsibly to help protect the quality of rivers, lakes and beaches. #BinIt4Beaches

Think a #Hippo looks out of place in the #Thames? Millions of people flush the wrong things down the loo meaning wet wipes and sanitary products can also find their way into rivers and the sea. Become a #WaterWarrior flush only pee, poo and paper down the loo 🦛
