The Big Plastic Count – 9-15 March 2026
Life is busy. Counting plastic is probably at the bottom of your to-do list. But all it takes to make a difference is three simple steps…
- SIGN UP https://thebigplasticcount.com/
When you register, we’ll send you everything you need, including a How-To Guide and Count Sheet. If you can, just print the Count Sheet and stick it somewhere visible, like near the bin or on the fridge, ready for Count Week.
- COUNT
From 9–15 March, count all of the plastic packaging your household throws away. You can count as you throw, or collect your plastic and count it at the end of the week – whatever works.
- SUBMIT
Submit your results on our website by 22 March. You’ll see your household’s plastic profile, where your waste ended up, as well as the national results. Plus, you’ll have shared vital evidence that will get the government to solve the plastic problem.
The more people who take part, the better our evidence for change. Together, let’s build a fair future that’s free from the impacts of the plastics crisis.
“Well done to everyone at St Paul’s Church, Grange-over-Sands for your incredible efforts… Your church has achieved an Eco Church Bronze Award.
I know how hard you worked. Every minute you invested was worth it. On behalf of the natural world you’ve restored and the climate you’ve protected, thank you.”
We completed an online Eco Survey about how we as a church are caring for God’s earth in different areas of our life and work. The answers provided collect points towards an Eco Church Award – the more your church does, the more points you get!
The survey involves five key areas of church life:
- Worship and teaching
- Management of church buildings
- Management of church land
- Community and global engagement
- Lifestyle
We have started our journey. We now need to work towards the next level for a silver award!
