Ghost Net Bracelet From Swanage, Dorset

These are bracelets made from recycled ghost nets from North Beach which I recovered through the snow and ice (yes there can be snow in Swanage during the winter) driving back from a hospital night shift at Petersfield and then back to another one later in the New Forest on 11th December 2022.  I kept the nets in case I could create something with them. 

I always knew of the incredible work that Behaviour Change Cornwall had started and created from turning lost ghost nets and ocean plastic from our UK coastline into incredible gifts, making sure that this plastic never enters the sea and creating a perfect cycle of change going beyond sustainability. 

Did you know that 12 billion tonnes of plastic has been produced, that's enough to cover our planet two-times over.  Of this 12 billion tonnes, 6% was recycled just once, 8% was burnt and over 55% of all plastic was either never used or used only once and then discarded straight into the environment.

Your purchase will help me to continue to clean up our ocean by removing harmful plastic and other rubbish which is hidden beneath the waves.
