Only 3 days to go - this is going to be such a rubbish night out! Come and listen to @olifranklin talk about wasteland - an eye opening read that’ll make you question the contents of your bin and charity bag. I might say a bit about #historiclandfill @QMULGeography @QMUL_HSS – at Camberwell, London
Join @olifranklin in conversation with @DrKateSpencer at 7:30pm on 29th June at @TheWansteadtap as they discuss his shocking yet hopeful new book #Wasteland: The Dirty Truth About What We Throw Away, Where it Goes, and Why It Matters... >>

Well the votes are in from the audience here on what is the main cause of marine litter @Channel_Manche I am not sure I agree entirely, but the key point is we all have a role and by working together that we can fix this global environmental challenge !
Fantastic to see so many @PlymUni projects presenting at the @Channel_Manche Annual Event @EdenProject today. A real testament to the research achievements that have been made working with our partners in Europe
