📢Million Mile Clean Stats so far this year 📢 •Over 88,000 people have taken part in 2025 🎉 •3,600 local cleans ✊ •Over 40,000 kg of rubbish collected 💪 This is incredible and picking up plastic from our environment makes a real difference - Scientific evidence shows that beach cleans not only remove large pieces of plastic from beaches and streets (saving wildlife), but it has a knock on benefit of reducing microplastics in the medium term as it stops these larger pieces degrading. It's a simple action we can all take, and this weekend you can join us for beach cleans and people vs plastic protests, simply head to our map and find your closest event - pulse.ly/deiuehfriy #endplasticpollution #plasticpollution #plasticfreeocean #plasticwaste #plasticfreeUK #plasticocean #plasticfreecommunities #oceanplastic #choosetoreuse #oceanactivists

🧪 Our 2025 citizen science monitoring season has officially kicked off, starting with last week’s UK Great Water Blitz – and we’re proud to be partnering with to take it a step further. 🙌 Over the next year, 20 communities across Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England will be testing their local beaches, rivers, lakes and lochs for E. coli and intestinal enterococci, following the same strict standards used by official regulators. 📊 🔎 This isn't just science – it's community-powered action. ✊ By sampling weekly and publishing results openly on our Data HQ, these frontline communities are gathering the evidence needed to raise awareness, hold polluters accountable, and protect the waters we love to surf, paddle, swim and play in all year round. Check out their results, which are updated weekly on Data HQ: pulse.ly/bsci0kq4ih #OceanActivists #CitizenScience #EndSewagePollution #DataHQ #Earthwatch #GreatUKWaterBlitz
