New cartoon: The RNLI

Cartoon titled “The RNLI: Some of the people they help,” showing six scenarios involving people rescued by the RNLI. Including a man caught by the tide, a YouTuber swimming without preparation, a middle-lane driver, a neighbour with different political opinions, a superyacht owner who forgot to refuel, and people crossing the Channel in a small boat. The final caption reads, “All human beings – all deserve saving.”

Big effort for 06:00 on Monday 27 July at Longsands to help clear nurdle plastic pollution with high tide. Check out 👇🏼

There is a major volunteer effort kicking early in off from 6am Monday morning Longsands at the High Tide Line starting from Crusoe's to clear nurdle plastic pollution from our beaches and everyone in Tynemouth has a part of play. More teams being assembled and will branch off to other beaches so watch out for information including Monday Afternoon after the second High Tide.

Based on expert advice the organisers have come to the conclusion that:

The insurers contractors are equipped and staffed only to handle the Fish Quay and nearly all of the equipment needed in the North East unlikely to be here for days. We can leave the Fish Quay to them but Tynemouth needs to step up, nobody else will.

The Tides this week, in particular Monday and Tuesday, are such that there is a golden

opportunity to put a dent in this which otherwise we will regret. Residents here would never forgive ourselves if we let that happen.

With each High Tide this week more and more pellets will refloat and form the nice neat lines along the High Tide mark, easy for volunteers to sweep up.

It's been possible to locally manufacture enough filtering bags this weekend to support a big effort. Enough people who have already been volunteering have developed experience using them.

There's scope for others less experienced to sweep up material with just a couple of minutes training (without touching a single pellet). You brush/scrape it, they will filter out the pellets.

So, if you have some time to spare before work, please come down. Don't expect perfection but do come and help. A few do's and don'ts:

1. Don't step on the nurdles, this is the one thing which can make the situation worse.

With the beaches in heavy use this has happened to much.

2. Do wear gloves (there will be plenty available or bring your own) it's not essential but helps the

organisers minimise the work they need to do supervising less experienced folk.

3. Do wash your hands when finished.

4. Do leave the more experien…

A couple of hours on Tynemouth Longsands (in the rain) with 8-10 volunteers and we gathered about 20kg of nurdles, using dustpans and brushes, homemade mesh bags and big buckets. Join the WhatsApp group below for more info on local volunteer efforts.

This is Bear, Australia's most famous koala detection dog. After a decade of service, he's retiring. He's located hundreds of injured or displaced koalas after forest fires. We're told his retirement will be filled with rest, cuddles, and maybe a little mischief. 15/10

a gray and white australian koolie with bright blue eyes looks directly at the camera with a tongue-out smile. he's wearing a blue vest and the sun shines down upon him.

Bear stands on charred ground wearing his blue vest and red booties. he looks up toward the sky. he's presumably found a koala high up in a tree.

Bear sits low to the ground on a sandy beach. the waves of the ocean come in behind him, but he's too focused on the orange and yellow ball sitting in front of him to notice.
