Sharing again for more reach - A spillage of approx one billion (25 tonnes) of nurdles (plastic pellets) following a collision at the Port of Tyne is washing up on beaches from Northumberland to Sunderland, with North & South Tyneside hardest hit. Huge volunteer effort underway. Press release ⬇️
Alison Stenning@alisonstenning.bsky.social · last wk.Some of the nurdle volunteers on the North Tyneside coast have written a press release (not me!) about the nurdle spill, the official response and the amazing community action. Please do share with journalists etc. online and offline. Contact details in the PR. docs.google.com/document/u/0...
Lots of action on the North Tyneside coast again today, trying to collect as many of the billion spilled nurdles as possible, in the absence of an organised, council/corporate-led effort. This is what the Fish Quay, right at the mouth of the Tyne looked like this morning (not my pics).
Please spread the word to any contacts you might have in England! Thank you. #mitty #nurdles #plasticinoceans #ty e #northernengland #pollution
Alison Stenning@alisonstenning.bsky.social · 2w ago25 tonnes of nurdles, more than 1 billion nurdles, were spilled into the Tyne last week and are washing up on our beaches, north and south of the Tyne. Likely one of the largest ever plastic pollution events in the UK. There is remarkably little mention of this on here.
