Join our Plastics Challenge

Our waterway wildlife needs human heroes to lend a hand by removing plastics and litter along our canals. Take our quiz to discover your litter-busting alter-ego and see how you can make a difference.

Our canals are full of amazing creatures working hard to keep these waterways healthy. Swans filter the water, fish keep the ecosystem balanced and water voles maintain healthy canal banks.  

But they can’t tackle plastic pollution. Every piece of rubbish left in and around our canals damages habitats, threatens wildlife and harms our precious canals and rivers.  

Discover your inner canal creature and find out how you can help fight plastic pollution.
