On the first day of the 12 Days of a Low Waste Holiday: Consider going green when wrapping your presents this year! Try reusable gift bags, old magazines, food containers, plant pots, maps, old calendars or used paper bags from the grocery store to wrap Christmas goodies.pic.twitter.com/uhXTttXeaS

I find a surprising amount of old drinks cans but rarely find the old ring pull tabs. Found this one yesterday on Bawdsey beach. Even rarer to find the ring with the tab still connected. #beachclean #2minutebeachcleanpic.twitter.com/KAL0lMqjoV

Found this old @Tesco carrier bag on this morning’s #beachclean. Having trouble working out how old it is from logo info available online. I’m guessing 70s-80s at the moment. #vintagelitter Can anyone pin the date down further?pic.twitter.com/EOxQgBkoT8

    33 year old cans of @7UP and Tango found during yesterday’s #Litterpick. My collection of #vintagelitter is getting bigger. Maybe I’ll create a mini museum of trash for 2020? pic.twitter.com/MXOJGUZwe4

No mop and bucket here. University Housekeeping mops with microfiber cloths, which are more effective and can be reused hundreds of times. It's another reason Housekeeping is Green Seal Certified.pic.twitter.com/j7aahPIgpp

One of my top 5 littered nasties is balloons. I find so many littering our beaches, river banks and streets and I've experienced first hand the danger they pose to wildlife on more than one occasion. That's why I also wrote this poem - Balloons Are Fun?!... I don't think so.pic.twitter.com/AHOLYnKIju
