THE founder of the worldwide environmental campaign #2minutebeachclean, Martin Dorey, from Bude, has released his first book on how to say ‘no’ to plastic — No. More. Plastic.

Plastic is ruining the environment, but people can do something about it. Discover what to do to save the planet from plastic and why this should start today.

Martin is the expert when it comes to understanding the impact plastics have on the planet.

This eco-friendly book shows what to do to make a real impact — starting today, with just two minutes of a person’s time. This is the first mainstream anti-plastics guide since Blue Planet II brought the issue home to everyone.

Martin is a writer, surfer and beach lover. He launched the Beach Clean Network with Tab Parry in 2009 and started the #2minutebeachclean after North Atlantic storms left UK beaches littered with plastic rubbish.

It’s a simple, effective idea — pick up beach litter for two minutes, bag it, tag it, bin it — and the hashtag has been used thousands of times around the world.

No. More. Plastic. continues the clean-up beyond the beaches with the #2minutesolution for everyone.

Martin is also the author of the bestselling series The Camper Van Cookbook, The Camper Van Bible and The Camper Van Coast, and presented a BBC TV show called One Man and his Campervan.

Martin said: “No. More. Plastic. is the culmination of a lifetime on the beach and more than ten years of picking up seaborne plastic litter. It is a book that no one else could write.

“The experience gained from founding the #2minutebeachclean movement has put me in a unique position. The simple idea of picking up litter for just two minutes has moved thousands around the world to get stuck in.

“The #2minutebeachclean laid solid foundations for the #2minutesolution, and this book. The notion is simple: we all have the power to change the world, small actions add up and every change we make matters.”

No. More. Plastic. has been published by Ebury Press.
