08 February 2024

Residents of Ramsgate,

Are you ready to make a difference right here in our community? The Big Plastic Count is back, and we're calling on all residents of Ramsgate to join us in the largest investigation into household plastic waste. As we gear up for this impactful initiative, let's follow in the footsteps of families like Rhiannon's from Cardiff and take action to tackle plastic pollution together.

From March 11 to 17, we invite you to count your plastic waste for one week and submit your findings. By participating in the Big Plastic Count, you'll not only raise awareness about the issue but also contribute valuable data that can drive meaningful change at the local and global levels.

Rhiannon, a participant from Cardiff, shares her experience, highlighting how the Big Plastic Count turned plastic collection into a fun and educational family activity. With your participation, we can replicate this experience right here in Ramsgate. Imagine the impact of families, friends, colleagues, and neighbours coming together to make a difference in our community.

Counting your plastic waste is simple and easy. Whether you choose to input your results online through the user-friendly website or use a paper form, every contribution matters. Together, we can gain insights into our plastic consumption habits and work towards reducing our environmental footprint.

But the Big Plastic Count isn't just about counting plastic waste—it's about sparking conversations and inspiring action. As we observe the plastic pollution in our local beaches and neighbourhoods, let's use this opportunity to advocate for change and urge policymakers to prioritize environmental sustainability.

Joining the Big Plastic Count is a chance for us, as residents of Ramsgate, to show our commitment to protecting our environment and preserving our community for future generations. Together, we can make a difference.

So, mark your calendars and sign up for the Big Plastic Count today. Remember, registration ends on March 11, and submitting your results by March 31 is crucial to contributing to this important cause.

Let's come together, Ramsgate, and make our voices heard in the fight against plastic pollution. Join us in counting our plastic waste and paving the way for a cleaner, greener future for Ramsgate and beyond.

Together, we can make a difference.
