Is 2 minutes really enough to make a difference? 

People may think 2 minutes is a very short time to make a difference, but small actions add up to make a big difference. Every piece of plastic removed from the marine environment is no longer a danger to our marine life and environment.  

Each #2MinuteBeachClean is estimated to weigh in at 1-2KG. If everybody in Ireland does a #2MinuteBeachClean per month, that would be over 100,000 tonnes of litter removed from our ocean this year.
