People living in Waterford are encouraged to tackle climate change with a two minute beach clean.
Clean Coasts are giving out free kits to the first 200 people who pledge to do two minute beach cleans as their New Year's resolution.
A new video - produced by Clean Coasts and Cube Media as part of the 'New Year, New You' campaign - encourages people to be better and greener going into 2023 by being more conscious of the environment.
Taking part in the campaign entails taking two minutes when you are outdoors to remove litter that you see along the way.
All participants are asked to share images of what they collect on social media, and adding the #2minutebeachclean hashtag to the photos to spread the word and inspire others.
Coastal Community Manager, Sinead McCoy, said: “The minute beach clean is such a great initiative to get involved in. People may think 2 minutes is a very short time to make a difference, but small actions add up to make a big difference. Every piece of plastic removed from the marine environment is no longer a danger to our marine life and environment.
"Each #2minutebeachclean is estimated to weigh in at 1-2KG. If everybody in Ireland does a #2minutebeachclean per month in 2023, that’s over 100,000 tonnes of litter removed from our ocean.”
To sign up to receive your own #2minutebeachclean kit, visit the Clean Coasts website and pledge to do a #2minutebeachclean.
