WHY?

Did you know that plastic is in the WATER we drink, in the FOOD we eat and in the AIR we breathe?.
The real danger are the microfibers and micoplastics that act as magnets and attract toxic pharmaceutical chemicals which they release inside marine life, possibly humans. We need to expose these dangers to our communities and make them aware about these dangers and inspire them to take action. I have a blog about the hidden plastic in our dinner

Since we do not have budgets for expensive labs; we use £20 microscopes from Amazon to sample water; collect, geo-tag and count plastic litter every day and have shared my findings on our digital channels and also with Thames21 and Thames Estuary Partnership

We have come up with this Thames Litter Discovery Map which shows litter concentration on the river from a citizen science perspective
