Greenpeace UK is inviting all households, businesses and schools to join in citizen science project. This is to record all plastic usage for UK’s biggest ever investigation into household plastic waste, taking place over one week – 16-22 May.2022.
They will gather new evidence about just how much plastic we’re having to throw away. And Greenpeace will use this evidence to push the UK government, brands and supermarkets to take bold action to tackle the plastic problem. Let’s do it, to join please use link below.

The Big Plastic Count campaign is specific to the UK. However, we can all do our bit.
Check out the How – To - Guide to the Big Plastic Count. All of us, in whichever country, can use it to adapt and investigate how much waste we are still collecting. Start with our homes, workplace and schools.
The guide gives a Tally sheet to help track the amount of plastic in different categories.
Take the ideas, take action and start your own local campaign.
