We’ve all heard the ‘leave no trace’ mantra, but how about taking it up a notch and leaving the place even better than you found it? You can join the locals in the ‘Take 3 for the Sea’ initiative, where you simply pick up 3 pieces of rubbish along the way and toss them in the bin. It’s a small action with a big impact – and doesn’t have to just stop at the sea.

Want to do more? Consider bringing your own eco-friendly substitutes like a reusable water bottle and coffee cup to naturally shrink your plastic footprint. And if you’re having a picnic, do a quick sweep for tiny troublemakers like bread tags and rubber bands before you head out. These little things can make a world of difference in protecting our wildlife. So, let’s be good stewards of our beautiful environment.
