Tis definitely the season to be wrapping up warm!

Tis definitely the season to be wrapping up warm! @savechildrenuk's #ChristmasJumperDay is set to take place this Friday. Do get involved this year but instead of buying new, why not reuse last year's Christmas jumper, customise a jumper you already have, borrow from a friend or head down to your local charity shop to #ShopSecondHand! 🎅🎄⁠
⁠
Check out some of the #LitterFreeDorset team's choices (and swipe to the end to see a cute Christmas helper) - Carla's jumper is borrowed from a neighbour while Karen and Dougie reuse their jumper/outfit every year! 🙌 ⁠

Thank you @wey_portmarinelitterprojectcic This is what approximately 285kg of marine waste looks like. This is the result of 2 months of beach cleans done by a great group of people who really care for our environment and marine life. Special thanks to our man Dave who has been out there almost daily and gone the extra mile by setting up our sorting station in order to make this possible. Three dumpy bags kindly donated by Doonans filled and off to ReWorked tomorrow- fantastic! @litterfreedorset @weymouth_marina @plasticfreeportland @dorset_echo @loveweymouth

We’re on a day trip to Swanage market today, talking #foodwaste!
We’ve taken all the veg from your favourite roast dinner and made our take on a carrot cake. Made with no less than six different veg, peel included! It’s a very a-peeling cake 😂
So when you’re making your festive roast dinner this year, don’t throw away your peelings and veg trimmings - throw them into a cake!

Yesterday Emma visited wonderful Lulworth Cove to meet the Education Ranger and find out about the success they have had with their new environmental interventions and support from Litter Free Dorset.
It was a gorgeous - if windy! - day and such a treat to get out onto our beautiful coastline.
We spotted some great new signage and environmental messaging and we heard some really inspiring examples of how these helped to make summer 2021 a much more positive season at Lulworth.
More exciting plans coming in 2022!

Posted @withregram • @hellohubbub Stressing about what to wear to your Xmas party?

7 million of us are going to buy something new to wear out in December, which means we’ll be spending a whopping £330.5 million on new outfits in the run-up to Christmas. 🤑

Help your bank account and the environment this festive season by digging out your old favourites, renting, buying second hand or swapping instead.

As masks are back on the scene we thought we'd re-share our video we created back in Spring... 😂

This pug is pretty peeved about PPE (try saying that 5 times fast!) Bruno and other dogs across Dorset have noticed masks littering our streets. Let’s all make sure we pop our PPE safely in our bags! 😷

Did you know in Dorset, bagged dog mess can be discarded into any public bin! 🙌 If no red dog poo bin around, please don't fret - responsibly dispose of it in a nearby public waste bin instead! 🐶💩🚮⁠

Autumn is well and truly here and aren't the colours beautiful! 🍂🤩 Shout out and thank you to all responsible pup owners for remembering when it comes to their dog's poop, to always #BagItBinIt! 🐶💩🚮⁠

Left behind dog mess can be easily camouflaged by fallen leaves...no one wants that kind of surprise! 😬⁠
