Elegant. Impact. Keep plastic OUT of our oceans!!! (Any one else fancy swimming in it???) #Repost @kittiekipper with @make_repost ・・・ The lobster mesh hat 🖤Amazing what you can do with stitching rather than using temporary glues, it’s been part of my creative brief from day one that I wouldn’t use plastic glues in my work and it’s helped me to construct and think outside the box. Also totally Fabulous to be given a brief by @deakinandblue that I could really stick my teeth into. They wanted something to demonstrate the pollution in our seas as well as being chic and couture to go with their swim suits. Today the hats will be worn by the women’s cold water swim relay team at the south London swimming club in Tooting 🖤 good luck girls and guy !! @ellachloeswims @_finsandgoggles_ @sophiehellyer @jackharrisoncook #2minutebeachclean#plasticproject #trashyourselfie#plasticpollution#ghostnet#ghostgear#fishingline#marineconservation#marineplastics#beachclean#litterpick#handmade#beachcombing#litterati#take3forthesea#justgrabbits#cleanoceans#surfersagainstsewage#repurpose#reuse#recycle#beachclean#beachcleaners#wethechange#singleuseplastic#reusables#plasticfree#surf#wethechange#hat#millinery https://www.instagram.com/p/BtGYLyHnjo0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19m82yxxs1ngm

‘Why do you even bother?’ ——> This is a question I have been asked before when discussing my mild obsession with picking up beach litter when I go for a walk 🏖🚶‍♂️ ✖️ I would ask ‘why bother with anything’? - Why bother supporting that charity you help? You’re never going to rid the world of poverty. - Why bother getting up early in the morning to have a run? You’re never going to be an Olympic athlete. - Why bother reading that book? You’re never going to read all the books in the world. ✖️ You see, asking ‘why bother’ is a redundant question. ✖️ If you are passionate about something you must absolutely pursue it with your whole heart. ✖️ This little haul of ropes and plastics picked up at Leighton Beach today isn’t going to change the world, but it may mean that several species of marine life can go another day without ingesting plastic waste, or being strangled by a rope. In a tiny way that has to be positive. ✖️ We can all make a difference, no matter how small. Starting today! ✖️ On a side note I scored a broken, washed up Esky today which still has its handle intact. It’s going to be my beach litter collection box from now on. ✖️ Happy weekend everyone 🙌 ✖️ #scruffypassports #waronwaste #plasticsucks #rope #fishingline #plastictides #trashyourselfie #pickup1million #litterati #plasticfreejuly #plasticbeach #beachlitter #esky #microplastics #microplastic (at Leighton Beach)
