This month we're promoting awareness of single-use #plastics & how we can reduce them. Today Sea Straw visited to talk about Plastic in our Oceans: "It’s estimated by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. We need to take action & start with the simple things."

It's time to switch things up! #PlasticFreeJuly starts today. Will you be taking part? Share your plastic free & zero waste tips in the comments ⬇️

Some of the amazing photographs, taken by our guests Sea Straw which the school have been looking at this morning swapping plastic straws for paper ones is just one way we can dramatically improve the health of our oceans and the animals living there #MMScience Nick Robertson-Brown

We had a fabulous day inspiring the 230 children of Meltham Moor primary school about the wonders of the underwater world, the fun creatures that live in our precious seas and how to keep them plastic free! #WarOnPlastic
