ISLE of Wight organisation Planet Aware is working to stop plastic entering the oceans by supporting the work of the charity WasteAid.
On Thursday, June 27, volunteers will spend a day walking and collecting beach rubbish from ten miles of the south coast of the Island to raise money and awareness for WasteAid.
The event is being supported by Biffa IW.
WasteAid works directly with local communities to prevent plastic waste entering the ocean by turning it into new products. The project also helps tackle public health problems caused by burning and dumping waste.
Planet Aware is inviting donations — and any made before the end of July will be doubled thanks to match-funding from UK Aid.
