October is #greatriverrescue month, a national campaign to clear up our waterways from well… largely #plastic.

The #Thames is the heart of #London and Londoners are no strangers to getting down the waterside and clearing up.

Last month our reporter Phoebe took part in #Thames21’s big bottle count where more than forty thousand bottles were collected by 200 volunteers over 19 sites in just 1 day.
