Each year over 400 million tons of plastic is made – half of it single-use & only 9% ever gets recycled!
The rest ends up in landfills, #rivers, #oceans & food chain as #microplastics.

💚 Choose reusable
💚 Collect discarded plastics – if SAFE to do so

We installed these #scrapes - shallow, temporary wetlands - & look how wet they still are!
Natural flood management #NFM not only enhances resilience to flooding it also enhances the landscape's ability to store water during drier conditions, creating habitats for a wide range of insect & bird life.
