Learn more than 8 million tonnes of plastic enter the oceans each year (15-51 trillion pieces).
-
Hear how without big action, at the current rate, pieces of plastic will outnumber fish in the ocean by 2050.
-
Read about the realities of why the recycling system across the UK is deeply flawed, and why we need to see it as a last resort.
-
Gain the tools to reduce your plastic footprint, by using Lucy's 'reduce, rethink, refill, refuse' approach. If only 12 of us did this we could potentially ditch 3K-15K single items of plastic in a year.
