Plastic Free Schools is evolving and the New Wave is coming! Plastic Free Schools has spent years turning pupils into powerful, plastic-fighting campaigners, and that spirit isn’t going anywhere. It’s growing up.
We’re reshaping our work with young people and schools into something bigger: the New Wave. A new chapter of youth and schools activism, built on everything Plastic Free Schools achieved, and ready to take it further.
Watch this space, the New Wave is coming soon, along with some incredible new resources for schools and educators!

We’re inspiring and empowering young people everywhere to become part of our ever-growing network of Ocean Activists.
This work is evolving. Right now, we’re focusing our education initiatives on the fight for clean water, giving young people the knowledge and tools to stand up for the rivers, seas and coastlines they love. Plastic Free Schools is growing into something bigger, Ocean School keeps young people connected to the coast wherever they are, and we’re building new ways for the next generation to lead the charge, with more on the way.
Our education work links directly to our water quality campaign, giving young people a clear, practical way to take action on the issue closest to home.
