Well if MPs can blog then so can I. I have just signed up as an organiser for Beach Watch which is a voluntary scheme run by the Marine Conservation Society. Basically it means that 4 times a year I will be arranging a day out to a local beach, for myself and anyone else that's free, to pick up litter an make the marine environment a better place for all. Watch out here and on the website for details of our first litter picking adventure!
