Make a splash and come celebrate WORLD OCEANS DAY with us.
Our country is full of idyllic coastal resorts, made special by one thing.. our ocean. Being surrounded by water brings a sense of calm and wellbeing. I become more obsessed each year in my quest for the perfect alfresco sea view. It got me thinking about the need to to preserve this beauty and what we can do to #saveourseas

save our seas from plastic pollution
Plastic pollution is becoming a serious problem for all our seas...
80% of all pollution in the ocean comes from people on land.
8 million tonnes of plastic per year ends up in the ocean, wreaking havoc on wildlife, fisheries and tourism.
Plastic pollution costs the lives of seabirds and marine mammals every year.
Fish eat plastic, and we eat the fish.

Healthy Oceans, Healthy Us
A healthy world ocean is critical to our survival. Every year, World Oceans Day provides a unique opportunity to honor, protect, and conserve our world’s shared ocean.
Our ocean is so important it...
Generates most of the oxygen we breathe
Helps feed us
Regulates our climate
Cleans the water we drink
Offers a pharmacopoeia of medicines
Provides limitless inspiration

change gonna come
It has to. So what can we do?
Ditch the plastic.
Use less and recycle the plastic you must use.
Go for alternatives like glass and metal.
Go vintage - a little make-do-a-mend - they had to, but now we need to;
reduce, reuse and recycle
Use these hashtags on social to spread the word and help clean up our ocean: #WorldOceansDay #TogetherWeCan

Did you see Blue Planet? Then you'll know single use plastics have got to go. For those that didn't, eight million metric tonnes of plastic is dumped into the ocean each year and it's harming both the sea creatures and the environment.
Soon our seas will be more plastic than fish.

Globally we go through a million plastic water bottles a minute. BPA is thought to leach into food, drink and harbour bacteria - the time is now to switch to a reusable bottle or cup!
We'll be upcycling those bottles into our new cleaning cloths.
Our exclusive Peep branded cloths are made from 100% recycled PET plastic bottles and are the perfect way to keep yourself smear free. Soft, durable, anti-static and washable on a low temp - everything you could ask for in a cloth.
Clean your glasses while saving the planet.
All in a day's work,
You're welcome.
