Think Before you Flush
Think Before You Flush is a public awareness campaign about the problem sanitary products and other items can cause in our marine environment and our wastewater systems if they are flushed down the toilet.
The Think Before You Flush campaign invites you to make small changes in your bathroom behaviour in order to protect our coastal environment.
#2minutebeachclean
Every piece of litter removed from the marine environment is a piece of litter that won’t pollute our oceans or be ingested by marine life. #2minutebeachclean is asking everyone who goes to the beach to do their very own #2minutebeachclean. Take a snap of the litter you collect and post your snap on instagram/twitter/facebook with the hashtags #2minutebeachclean and #cleancoasts
