Meet the man cleaning up North-East beaches and inspiring others to do the same FULL dog poo bags, nappies and needles are amongst some of the things found by a North-East man litter picking the region s beaches, and today he has revealed why he does it for free. For the two years, Steven Lorrison has spent his free time clearing beaches along the North-East coast from litter left by locals as well as washed-up waste. Joined by his partner Melissa Tiplady, the couple were spurred into action after watching documentaries, including the BBC s War Against Plastic. The 40-year-old has inspired thousands to bag up litter through a Facebook group he set up with Miss Tiplady, 40, called North East Beach Clean.
Campaigners have launched what they say will be the UK’s biggest ever beach clean, as part of efforts to tackle the threat of plastic pollution to marine wildlife.
Surfers Against Sewage have marked the launch of their “million mile beach clean” with a 50-metre sand drawing of a seal surrounded by plastic on Cayton Bay in Yorkshire.
The charity hopes to inspire 100,000 people to clean up their local beach, river, street or green spaces, to clear a million miles by the end of 2021, as part of a new “million mile clean” environmental campaign.
The initiative aims to encourage people to get out locally as lockdown eases to tackle litter and plastic waste on streets, country lanes, parks and along waterways, as well as beaches.
