Join the #tenlittlepieces movement

Hand holding pieces of plastic collected from beach

Make a difference to the places you love by collecting ten little pieces of rubbish, anytime, anywhere, as part of the Ten Little Pieces movement. It opens conversations around environmental stewardship, impact, regenerative principles and a reframing of our concept of waste through solutions-based thinking. Involving children is actively encouraged.

Cigarette butts, food wrappers, straws, single-use utensils and plastic drink bottles are the top 5 most commonly found items at beach clean ups.
