Cornwall Council and Clean Cornwall are celebrating the efforts of Cornwall’s litter heroes and their tireless work to create a #LitterlessCornwall.

It comes at the start of Keep Britain Tidy’s Great British Spring Clean running until April 23 and is aimed at getting everyone to do more to keep their local areas clean.

Shoppers in Truro had the pleasure of sitting down for a meal of plastic litter as part of a campaign to highlight marine pollution. The dishes included spaghetti made of old rope and plastic bottle tops, a fry-up breakfast of plastic bags, Smarties box lids and cigarette lighter casings and sushi created from Lego, elastic bands and microplastic.

Created by Delia Webb from the Cornish Plastic Pollution Coalition, the meals were made from litter collected from Cornwall’s beaches with some items believed to be more than 50 years old.

The Council is calling on everyone to do their bit to keep their communities tidy and make a difference as part of the #LitterlessCornwall campaign by finding an event on the Clean Cornwall website. If you want to organise an event you can register it on the site.
