Have you had enough of people throwing litter in your local river? Do you want plastic pollution to become a thing of the past? Are you passionate about protecting our planet?
Let's do something about it! - Star in your very own scrap-motion movie!
Our friends at Ragtag Arts have joined forces with us to help you spread the word about how wonderful rivers are … and what will happen if people don’t show them the love and care they need. As with all good films, there can be a happy ending – share your ideas for making our rivers healthier for people and animals and encourage other people to do it as well!
