Primary and secondary schools have been invited to view a series of online films and activities via an interactive map in advance of the event, culminating in a live question and answer session with Environment Agency and World Wildlife Fund experts on the actual day.
By clicking on different points of the map, students can learn how plastic pollution travels through our toilets and drains to rivers and oceans having started life as a balloon, plastic food wrap, litter, clothing and agricultural materials.

The farming rules for water regulations (2018) (FRfW) were introduced to create a national baseline for good farm practices. They require land managers to take reasonable precautions to prevent diffuse pollution from occurring.
Reasonable precautions are “actions that a land manager might be expected to do in order to prevent run-off or soil erosion”, according to Defra.
So far, the Environment Agency (EA) has favoured an advisory approach. But will Defra’s current review result in a change in the way they are applied?
Farmers Weekly asked a cross-compliance specialist, a grassland consultant and a farming adviser for their views.
