Out on a walk with your dog? Please remember to pick up your dog’s poo and put it in the bin, or bring it home if there isn’t one nearby. πŸΎπŸ—‘οΈ

Less than half a teaspoon of dog poo contains enough bacteria to potentially affect bathing waters and we don't want that along any part of our coast! πŸ•

Lots of various plastic litter removed from Portrane Beach recently by the wonderful volunteers from Phibsboro Village Tidy Towns πŸ’ͺ

Each clean-up held inland in towns and villages, or by canals, rivers, lakes and of course beaches prevents litter from making its way to the ocean! 🌊

Not every clean up looks Instagram perfect! πŸ“Έβœ¨Sometimes it's cold, sometimes it's windy, sometimes you're grabbing bits of litter on your way home. πŸ₯Ά

And that still matters! If you did a #2MinuteBeachClean share it and inspire others to do the same! πŸ’™
