Between 11-17 March 2024, thousands of schools, households and communities will be coming together to count their plastic waste. And we want young people to join them!

Teachers, you can sign your class up to join thousands of young people across the country counting all the plastic they throw away for a week, they can gather the vital evidence we need to convince UK ministers, supermarkets and big brands to lead the way at the global talks that could finally phase out plastic production for good.

Governments have just started negotiating a Global Plastics Treaty to agree how to tackle the plastic crisis. It’s a massive opportunity - but we have to act fast.

Young people have the power to make a real difference and help shape the future of the planet. That's why we want to get as many schools to take part as possible.

Register your class today to access free, easy-to-use resources, and everything you need to engage and empower your pupils: https://thebigplasticcount.com/take-part
