You’re a teacher AND an ocean activist!

This is the first step on a journey to empower young activists at your school to create positive, lasting, environmental change.

Plastic Free Schools is a pupil-led, ground-breaking programme that equips young people with the tools to understand the problems of single-use plastic, speak to politicians and eliminate unnecessary single-use plastic from their schools, for good.
In 2018, Damien Hinds, Education Secretary at the time, challenged all UK schools to become plastic-free by 2022, highlighting our programme as the way to do it. With over 2,000 school signed up (and counting) you’ll be joining a movement that is making waves of change from beaches and playgrounds to the front benches of parliament.
So, what are you waiting for? Sign up today and help to inspire the next generation of ocean activists!
