What a 72-year-old grandmother has done to help the environment is incredible.

The planet’s pollution level is rising by the day. There are already entire garbage islands in the ocean, which could quickly become garbage continents. Although many environmentalists are working to combat global pollution, their efforts are not yielding the desired results. People who care about our planet, on the other hand, do not give up and continue to fight for it, sometimes alone.

Pat Smith, a British pensioner, takes pollution seriously and fights it every day. A 70-year-old woman cleaned plastic waste and other hazardous waste from her country’s beaches by herself. She accomplished the near-impossible by cleaning 52 beaches in a single year. The woman decided to establish the Last Straw Cornwall company in order to draw attention to the problem. The organization was intended to assist the residents of the small Cornish town in beginning the fight against pollution.

Pat’s desire to preserve nature for future generations has been one of her most powerful motivators. “We are causing massive damage to the oceans.” “I have to do something,” Pat said. Furthermore, the woman began to maintain her own blog, in which she demonstrated how she cleans the beaches and described the most common types of pollution she encountered.
Many of his channel’s subscribers also wanted to help protect the environment. Pat soon gathered a group of like-minded individuals who assisted her.

Unfortunately, not everyone is aware of the pollution issue. One of the most infuriating aspects for Pat and his team is having to clean up areas that they have already visited. Despite the fact that the United Kingdom is a developed country with a waste recycling system and waste treatment plants, more than 85 tons of plastic are thrown into the country each year.

To grasp the scope of the drama, consider that one plastic bottle decomposes over 200 years. Unfortunately, plastic waste frequently kills marine animals. I’d like to believe that Pat Smith’s and the entire Last Straw Cornwall team’s example will serve as an inspiration not only for the British people, but for everyone on the planet.
