Mallaig is a beautiful coastal town in Scotland that attracts many visitors every year. It is also home to a rich marine life, including dolphins, seals, whales and seabirds. Litter and plastics pose a serious threat to the environment and the wildlife of Mallaig. They can harm or kill animals, pollute the water, damage the landscape and affect the health of the people.

Some of the consequences of littering in coastal towns are:

  • It can harm or kill marine animals and birds that ingest or get entangled in plastic and other debris.
  • It can reduce the attractiveness and value of tourism, fishing and other industries that depend on clean and healthy waters.
  • It can increase the risk of flooding and erosion by blocking drainage systems and altering natural habitats.
  • It can spread diseases and toxins that affect human and animal health.

Therefore, it is important to prevent littering in coastal towns like Mallaig by raising awareness, enforcing regulations, providing adequate waste management facilities and promoting responsible behaviour among residents and visitors. It is vital to keep Mallaig clean of litter and plastics by disposing of them properly, recycling them when possible, and avoiding single-use items.

By doing so, we can protect the environment, the economy, the health and the beauty of these unique and precious places.

Mallaig needs our help to stay that way. Litter is a big problem that affects the cleanliness of our common areas (parks, paths, roads, beaches, etc.) and the environment.

That’s why we, the children of Mallaig Primary, have started Mallaig Clean, a project to clean up our town and raise awareness of the importance of proper waste management.

We want to make Mallaig a clean and green town that everyone can enjoy and be proud of. A town that cares for the planet, the animals, our health and our local economy.

Mallaig Clean is also a way for us to raise money for school trips and other school activities. We will install honesty boxes in local businesses with pictures of the areas we have cleaned (we will also share them on social media with an adult’s help).

You can also help us with a donation using the below form or volunteering with us.
