Not a day goes by currently, without more news about the global, harmful effects of plastics and other discarded materials on our environment. There’s no doubt we need to make big changes to our throwaway culture.
Litter not only spoils how our beautiful Cumbrian landscapes look, it also creates toxins and pollutants that are harmful to the land and the wildlife and livestock that live here.
Carelessly chucked-away rubbish can clog and pollute our waterways, affect our soils and be incredibly harmful to creatures that unwittingly ingest it, or become tangled in our discarded debris.
So let’s get together and make a start for a cleaner Cumbria!
