Campaigning for change
Join us to turn the tide on plastic pollution
We’re on a mission to stop plastic pollution at source
We run people-powered, community–loving campaigns that tackle the single-use plastic items most found on beaches, riverbanks and in the oceans. We’re pretty confident that one big piece of the puzzle to protect our environment for future generations, is to stop plastic at source by reducing demand. That way, we’re using fewer resources and creating less waste.
Whether you live in the city, or you’re at home by the sea, we can all make a difference by connecting our actions to our oceans.

We provide practical solutions to the plastic problem.
We change behaviour and inspire collective action.
We engage and influence brands, retailers and businesses.

OUR CAMPAIGNS
Refill
Refill is an award-winning campaign that makes it easier to reuse and refill your water bottle on the go than buy a single-use plastic bottle.
#switchthestick
In 2017, we successfully persuaded all major retailers to #SwitchTheStick from plastic to paper cotton bud sticks.
be a good a**hole
We think it’s a bummer that so many people are still treating their toilets like bins and flushing single-use plastic wipes.
Unflushables
We’re campaigning to get the UK talking about toilets and only flushing the 3Ps – pee, paper and poo. It’s bog standard!
Plastic-free travel
Our #PlasticFreeTravel campaign helps, encourages and inspires travellers to cut down the amount of pointless plastic used on holiday.
Plastic-free periods
We think it’s a bloody shame we aren’t given a choice when it comes to what we put in our bodies every month.
