The Love my Beach Campaign has just launched a new initiative for everyone stuck at home during the Covid-19 lock down – Let’s Wipe Out Ocean Plastic! WOOP!
Aimed at young people, and young women in particular, the campaign seeks to raise awareness of the fact that many of the products they most commonly use such as wet wipes and period care products contain plastic and when disposed of incorrectly can end up in our oceans, on our beaches and harm wildlife.
You can help to protect the environment by taking these three easy steps:
- Never flush wet wipes, period products or anything else down the loo, unless it’s one of the 3 P’s – Pee, Poo and Paper!
- Always dispose of these unflushable items in a bin. It’s so easy and has a big impact.
- Look out for sustainable products that don’t contain plastic, such as reusable make up wipes, biodegradable pads and tampons or menstrual cups.
People can get involved in the campaign by sharing their pictures of how they are helping to Wipe Out Ocean Plastic and using the hashtag #WOOP!
