It’s spring, it’s time to get outside to your beach, riverbank, local trail and open spaces and enjoy the added hours of sunlight. It’s also a great time to give something back to the planet, and with this years Earth Day being focussed on the planet vs plastic, why not sign up to do a Million Mile Beach Clean and fundraise for SAS at the same time?

Why?

• Beach/open space cleans are scientifically proven as one of the most efficient ways of removing plastic from our environment.
• Every piece of plastic removed from the environment removes the possibility of it entering the food chain, or worse, killing a living creature. You are helping save both marine and terrestrial eco systems.
• Getting outside and doing something for the environment is proven to help with mental health and general wellbeing.
• Removing plastic from the environment protects human health.
• Removing plastic from the environment helps communities keep their local areas clean and safe, and inspires others to do the same.
• Fundraising for SAS allows us to campaign for an end to single use plasti
