Help gather data on how much plastic packaging we throw away in one week in March.
Chris Packham says: “In 2022, I joined a quarter of a million people around the UK and counted my plastic waste for a week. Together, we exposed what really happens to our plastic, and that just 12% is actually recycled. We took the data to the UK Government, and pushed them to set ambitious targets to reduce plastic production. And that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? Being part of the solution makes you feel better about the problem.”

Governments across the world are negotiating a Global Plastics Treaty. By counting all the plastic you throw away for a week, you’ll gather evidence to convince UK ministers, supermarkets and big brands to show leadership and drastically reduce plastic production at source. Over 74,660 people have already signed up. It’s a great activity for children too.
