Helping out at beach clean

The Final Straw Solent beach clean.

The second speaker at our relaunch party was Bianca Carr from The Final Straw Solent. She recently started a campaign to highlight the growing problems caused by single use and throw away plastics. Her group raises awareness and gets local businesses to stop giving out plastic straws, and she has started to organise regular beach cleans.

We joined the latest one today at Eastney beach, to support this good cause and reduce the plastic waste being blown into the sea.  This photo has already appeared on our Facebook page and been shared by The Final Straw Solent on their page, raising awareness of Soroptimists taking action.
