Let’s clean up our wonderful Kent coast and make 2018 fantastic by avoiding plastic

KENT Wildlife Trust is calling on the people of Kent to make a real change to their lifestyles in 2018 by reducing their use of plastic products and in doing so help prevent further pollution of our seas and harm to our marine wildlife.

This is in the wake of the alarming issues raised by Sir David Attenborough in his recent Blue Planet II TV series.

Kent Wildlife Trust’s Guardians of the Deep Project Officer, Zoë Stevenson, said: “If you have seen this programme you’ll no doubt have been shocked by the terrible effects of plastic on our oceans and the animals that live there.

“Not all of us are able to live plastic free, but it’s estimated that 50 per cent of all plastic produced is single use. If we can cut this out of our lives, we can make a huge difference to the 8m tons of plastic entering the seas every year.”
