End Plastic Soup
T
he End Plastic Soup campaign started in 2018 in
the Rotary Clubs of Amsterdam and has spread to
Rotary Clubs to many countries throughout the
world, including the UK. Rotary’s End Plastic Soup is
truly international, with regular meetings and a very
active WhatsApp group, bringing together ideas and
projects from all over the world. These projects are
often in partnership with other national and international
organisations.
P
rojects around the world include river and lake
clean ups from Mexico to Holland, Philippines to
South Africa Russia to Italy. We are currently
establishing our own action group in the Thames Valley.
In 2022 we are starting the Thames Valley clean up identifying the source of pollution and working with other
interested groups, disposing of the rubbish in an
environmental way and increasing public awareness of
the problem.
