Two youngsters took it upon themselves to take part in a litter-pick in Kewstoke.
Ten-year-old Charlotte and seven-year-old Alice Drew decided to do their part and collect litter on the beach.
The youngsters, who both attend Ashcombe Primary School in Weston, were ‘concerned’ about the damage plastic is causing wildlife and the environment.
Alice is undertaking a school project on the oceans and had the support of her sister and parents.
The pair collected 3kg of rubbish which included polystyrene, bottle tops, food packaging and an old shoe.
