We are a campaign group aiming to eliminate single-use plastics in the borough. We want to inspire and engage our local businesses, schools, community organisations and the Council to reduce their reliance on single-use plastics. Also local lead for Surfers against Sewage.

b. Litter Picks, as well as taking plastic and other junk away from where it doesn't belong, litter picks are a great way to take immediate action to restore the beauty of our local environment, network with others, and get some exercise at the same time!
Plogolution has been set up to help support fit and happy communities that are dedicated to protecting the environment so we can be proud to hand our planet down to future generations.
We arrange regular 'plogs' which are run/walk and rubbish pick ups around London. Keeping rubbish from entering our rivers and raising endorphin levels at the same time!
CleanupUK helps anyone, wherever they live in the UK, to form a litter-picking group to strengthen their community. We achieve this via thewww.litteraction.org.uk website that we have set up in conjunction with the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE).
Clean Up Britain was started by a small group of professionals who united based on a shared passion for looking after our environment, and a particular concern about the increasing problem of litter. We’ve been lobbying hard for a national litter campaign and are members of the National Litter Strategy Advisory Group. In 2018, we’re broadening our horizons to inspire and enable communities and businesses better address environmental issues which are fast becoming extremely hot topics – single-use plastics, reuse and recycling.
Zero Waste Europe connects and supports a vibrant network of 29 national and local NGOs promoting the Zero Waste strategy as a way to make Europe more sustainable. Local groups are responsible for promoting ZW, managing and monitoring the network of Zero Waste municipalities, and engaging with companies and decision-makers.
To become member of Zero Waste Europe the organisation has to agree with the ZWE principles and the ZW hierarchy.
