A study found that over half feel single use plastic is the most damaging item to the environment, yet just under 50 per cent still buy drinks and then bin the bottles rather than reusing them.
A new study has revealed that a shocking quarter of Brits admit to littering, with half confessing to binning plastic items after just one use.
The study also revealed a concerning disregard for the impact of household chemicals on marine life, with 23 per cent admitting to washing harsh cleaning products, including bleach, down the sink. He urged everyone to adopt more environmentally conscious habits, adding: "We can all do our part to look after the ocean by making more environmentally friendly decisions when we shop, and when disposing of our rubbish."
"However, we can take action by making conscious choices to reduce, reuse, and recycle, helping to decrease litter in our seas." Despite their concerns, 68 per cent want to do better looking after the environment and 78 per cent of those who've tried reckon they've made a difference. Sadly, 28 per cent don't know where to start when it comes to being more eco-friendly leading to one in four not being pro active in making improvements.
