Plastic's on the menu, says Charles: Prince warns that every piece of sea-caught fish that you eat contains rubbish dumped in the oceans - Daily Mail Online
It's a campaign that's gathering more supporters and more momentum:
A film has been put together to show the effects of plastic on our oceans:
And in Lyme Regis next week, they're showing the film:
October
meeting: Next Tuesday 10th: ‘A Plastic
Ocean’
We are pleased to be
screening – ‘A Plastic Ocean’ a stunning and memorable film about plastics
polluting our oceans, particular poignant as we live near Lyme Bay. Here is the
link to a preview.
‘A Plastic Ocean’ is an adventure documentary shot on more than 20 locations over the past 4 years. Explorers Craig Leeson and Tanya Streeter and a team of international scientists reveal the causes and consequences of plastic pollution and share solutions.
Our meeting will be at the Baptist Church Hall. 7.15 for a prompt 7.30 start. Refreshments available.
We are pleased to
have been able to obtain the licence for this important film. Entry is free but
we hope that donations collected on the night will help cover our costs. Please
spread the word among friends, family and neighbours.
Plus another event next month:
Plastic
Free Coastlines – Surfers against Sewage
SAS are this year
campaigning for plastic free coastlines, focusing even more energy on
preventing plastics from getting into the ocean in the first place. “This will
be done through a new SAS project called Plastic Free
Coastlines; a campaign and grassroots movement to engage and
connect individuals, communities and businesses in the collective effort to
reduce the flow of single use plastics into the marine environment.
Plastic Free
Coastlines is a positive vision that our whole community can
share and work towards together.”
Grenville Barr
will be talking about this campaign and the Re-Fill scheme at the November
meeting.
