Discarded plastic in the Thames emits harmful greenhouse gases, and is a danger to wildlife. Our #CleaningtheThames website makes it easy to organise clean-ups on the foreshore, and record any litter you pick up #LCAW2021

Nearly 3/4 of all litter found on beaches worldwide are plastic products. #plasticpollution #PlasticBritain #oceanconservation

It's 💧 #WorldWaterDay 💧 so we’ve put together six actions you can take to support and protect rivers, waterways and the ocean🌊from pollution 👇👇👇

Help us keep the Thames clean. We remove over 200 tonnes of rubbish from the river every year. Our #CleaningtheThames website allows you to record the litter you collect, no matter the amount https://t.co/csRxQ4YOK5

[Dr Alexandra McGoran @AlexMcGoran]

I’ll be on the @LondonPortAuth panel discussion of #Habitats today at 11:30am GMT. Come join us.

I’ll be talking about #PlasticPollution in the #RiverThames and #Microplastic ingestion.

Not just at Palewell Common, all along the Brook is bad, esp at the A3 slip road onto Coombe Lane which has become a rubbish dump/fly tip all that trash is polluting Beverley Brook too

[Plastic Free East Sheen @PlasticFreeSW14]

You know what ends up in the Thames? Anything you discard on Palewell Common, including coffee cups, drinks bottles and snack wrappers. The wind will blow it into Beverley Brook and then it can travel all the way to the open sea. Please take your litter home!

While air quality has improved over lockdown, environmental problems such as littering are on the rise. Here's a feature piece on the situation in London and Kent

Not my first post about this topic, we can do better than this #Twickenham 😕. Take your rubbish home with you if the bins in @LBRUT #parks are full, there's signs on the bin that say this and ways to report full bins, which can also be done via this link https://t.co/fbqSXcBeBx

This amazing footage was taken by Nick Williams, at Richmond station in London on Christmas Eve. Urban foxes don’t seem to mind being close to humans, unlike their country cousins. Please remember that foxes are still wild animals and should be treated as such. #Winterwatch

@Lizevanslondon @EastSheenVlg @livingstreets @CostaCoffee @StarbucksUK And yes, boo for leaving them on top of the bin. Please take your rubbish home

[Plastic Free East Sheen @PlasticFreeSW14]

@Lizevanslondon @EastSheenVlg @livingstreets Unfortunately “paper” coffee cups cannot be recycled with paper and cardboard due to their plastic lining. Some cafe chains accept them for recycling such as @CostaCoffee & @StarbucksUK (or used to, pre-pandemic)but at home they’d go into the landfill bin https://t.co/OnSRZcwcuI

Marine debris is causing at least $13 billion in damage to marine ecosystems every year.

@DrOrlaWilliams @christiandunn @sascampaigns @ChesterFoE @KeepBritainTidy @HugoSAS @ChesterVol @GreenChester @wearechester @helentandy @EcoCommunities_ https://t.co/zEQwW3KVel £10 each but cheaper the more you get. Although they are sold out at the moment

[Plastic Free East Sheen @PlasticFreeSW14]

Initially I just picked up two plastic bags blown into the brambles by the wind on Palewell but ended up filling them with plastic bottles, snack wrappers and freezer bags, the unwelcome ghosts of picnics past. Please take your rubbish home so it doesn’t harm wildlife
