Plastic Rivers offers practical, evidence-based steps to tackle the plastic pollution on our doorsteps, so that everyone can be part of the solution. The issue of plastic in the oceans has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. But did you know that the vast majority of the plastic in our oceans comes from the rubbish in rivers? We urgently need to confront this problem, and stop plastics from getting into our rivers. We’ve developed a plastics ‘top offenders’ report and a plastic footprint calculator to help you and your students tackle the plastic problem.

Here you will find a range of resources that can be used to learn more about plastics, pollution and actions that can be taken to reduce our impact on the planet. You can find out more about our Plastics programme here: https://earthwatch.org.uk/get-involved/plastic-rivers
