May
Are you up for a challenge? If you are looking for a new challenge or took part in 2021, come and join us in a month-long litter picking effort across the county this May! If you didn’t take part in last year’s challenge, we will provide you with a litter picker, high vis vest and weighing scales so you can look the part, be safe as well as keep track of how much litter you collect. Already have your own equipment? That’s absolutely fine – just let us know as part of the survey and we’ll only send you what you need! By taking part you will not only be protecting local wildlife from the impacts of plastic pollution but also have the chance to provide information about the types of litter collected to help inform solutions to tackle plastic pollution long term. We have litter picking kits available for up to 250 participants. The Litter Free Challenge will take place between Sunday 1st May – Tuesday 31st May 2022. The Challenges We understand that some of us will have more time than others. Therefore we are offering four different challenges to choose from and will provide you with your […]

WWoW is a focussed and dynamic grassroots community group that seeks to raise awareness about the environmental impact of single use plastic through events, talks, displays and workshops. We started out in January 2017, focussed on reducing single use plastics – in particular disposable coffee cups, plastic bottles, straws and bags. In September 2018 we led Wimborne Minster to ‘Plastic Free’ community status, becoming the 2nd town in Dorset to achieve this award from Surfer’s Against Sewage (https://www.sas.org.uk/plastic-free-communities/). We continue to offer advice and support to other communities and leaders wishing to do the same and we work closely with our local Councils, the BID, businesses, festivals, venues, community groups, schools and individuals to inspire all to make simple, positive changes, to chose alternatives to single use plastic and promote a more sustainable, ethical culture of consumption. From our single use plastic beginnings we have become much more involved in wider environmental activities including: Organising regular litter picks; Continuing to develop and grow our ‘Plastic Free’ status and recruiting new Plastic Free Champion businesses; Becoming the Refill Wimborne co-ordinator for water refill points; Delivering workshops and sharing inspiring speakers; Co-organising the Wimborne Green Festival; Delivering creative solutions to single use […]
