Hello everyone- just a quick post to introduce myself. I'm Karen, Litter Free Dorset's new inland Project Officer and I'm excited to be working on some important campaigns. ⁠
⁠and am looking forward to meeting some of you soon. ⁠
⁠
My background is quite varied including fundraising and marketing but I always try to focus on sustainability. Outside of work you can mostly find me trying out new vegan food, swimming in the sea or watching Netflix with my cat!⁠

#LoveBridport Project - "I regularly collect litter from where I am and bin or recycle it. I also hold weekly beach cleans as part of the outdoor yoga sessions I run to encourage others to do the same." ~ Leah - West Bay

A big thank you to everyone this summer who's encouraged friends to #BringAPicnicNotABBQ or spoken to local businesses, asking them to #ChooseToRemoveDisposableBBQs and to businesses that removed disposable BBQs from retail or displayed our #WatchItCoolItBinIt safety messaging!⁠

Yesterday Sophie had the opportunity to visit Poole water recycling centre. Although not so glamourous at first glance, these sophisticated systems are cleaning our water so it can be recycled and returned to our waterways. Sophie learnt about sludge, storm overflows and how various partners are coming together to improve bathing water quality. 🌊⁠

With the summer hols drawing to an end, are you wondering what to do with your inflatable beach/pool toys? ☀️🦄🏖️⁠
⁠
If you're not planning on reusing them again, @wyattandjack run an inflatable amnesty where they transform and repurpose damaged/discarded inflatables into bags and other products to sell in their shop! For more info, see the link below 👇⁠
