Did you know that Ireland boasts nearly 1,500km of coastline? And we’re all about protecting it! One way to help is by being more mindful of what we flush down the toilet. Flushing things like wet wipes not only causes blockages but can also harm our precious marine life. Wet wipes are just one of many items that get flushed every day and end up damaging the ocean. These items make up what’s known as “The Dirty Dozen,” according to the Think Before You Flush campaign.
At Canbe Hospitality, we’re committed to sustainability and raising awareness about responsible waste disposal. That’s why we proudly support the Think Before You Flush campaign, created by the Clean Coasts Programme. We’re helping spread the word across all our properties to remind guests to dispose of waste properly. Here’s what the Dirty Dozen includes and how we can all make a difference!
What is Clean Coasts?
Clean Coasts is an Irish initiative dedicated to preserving our beautiful coastal environment. They do this by:
- Organizing hundreds of beach clean-ups every year
- Mobilizing thousands of volunteers to remove marine litter from our coastline
- Running campaigns and surveys to help reduce pollution
In addition to Think Before You Flush, Clean Coasts runs other amazing campaigns like #2minutebeachclean and Beat the Microbead, bringing people together to protect the oceans both locally and internationally. The Dirty Dozen is part of their effort to help everyone understand how to dispose of waste responsibly and protect the environment.
The Dirty Dozen
To make sure our guests are informed, we’ve placed the Think Before You Flush sign in all our toilets, and we’ve also provided small bins to help with proper disposal.
Let’s all join the effort to beat the Dirty Dozen and keep our coasts clean! Together, we can make a real difference.
