We've told you about CooperVision's plastic neutrality initiative to help reduce the amount of ocean bound plastic and now it’s time to take our own individual action.

Join us at Shore Road Car Park, Warsash at 2pm on Sunday 13th March for an organised litter pick along the beach. For a couple of hours of your time we guarantee fresh air, fun, laughter, a cleaner beach and a little less plastic in our oceans.

And why not bring your family and friends (just register any adults).

We would love for you to come along and take part. Just click on the register button to sign up and let us know you're coming.

And remember, if you're further afield and can't make it to Hampshire, why not do your own local litter pick? Choose a coastal location if you can, or otherwise a river or lake! Be sure to take photos and use the hashtag #CVIcleanup so we can see where you are and how you're doing?
