One thing we all have in common is a shared a desire to take hands-on action to protect our beaches from plastic pollution 365 days a year.
Whilst it’s not always possible to find, or even organise an ‘official’ SAS Beach Clean, it is ALWAYS possible to do a #MiniBeachClean.
#MiniBeachClean is simply a mindset, an engaging and positive ethos to encourage us to recognise that;
We believe that, as long as you are respectful and stay safe and only remove plastic pollution (please use our SAS-Safety-Guidelines) you shouldn’t have to ask permission or fill out loads of forms to remove some litter from your favourite places
The beauty of #MiniBeachClean is that it’s up to you how you do it! Whether you kit up with some heavy duty gloves, a wheelbarrow and a pack lunch to the farthest reaches of your favourite stretch of coastline or simply fill your hands with the plastics that you come across on a family walk. The key is that YOU are doing something positive and representing YOUR beach!
Take a photo of your #MiniBeachClean haul or you could even try our #MiniBeachClean ‘Shaka’ with the item of litter that most enrages you!
Get the #MiniBeachClean logos to help promote your activity on social media
Upload your #MiniBeachClean to your Instagram, Twitter or other social media account – Make sure to tag SAS and your beach please!

Please recycle as much of the plastic you find through your curb-side boxes (probably just bottles and containers!)
