Optical Express has teamed up with the Marine Conservation Society to clean plastic waste from beaches across the UK.
Staff at the Bristol practice launched the initiative at the Clevedon Pier area, where they were joined by the multiple’s corporate social responsibility manager Heather Suttie to clean the beach.
Optical Express chief executive David Moulsdale said: ‘The Marine Conservation Society does incredible work protecting our precious oceans and beaches, so it’s a privilege to team up and support their efforts. Whilst cleaning up plastic pollution is a vital part of this work, our real aim should be to cut down on the amount of plastic products we use in the first place. I’d encourage everyone to look carefully at the single-use plastic products they use and consider replacing them with more sustainable, ocean-friendly alternatives.’
