The Coastline Runner Agenda for 2024

This year, the Coastline Runner will:

​

1. Collect 5,000 pieces of plastic pollution while running 500km of British coastline and waterways

 

2. Educate 500 school pupils on combatting plastic pollution 

​

3. Engage with at least 5 local councils on measures they can take to bring about positive change in their local environment

The Coastline Runner

The Coastline Runner initiative was started by Luke Douglas-Home CEnv. He is a Chartered Environmentalist and works for A Future without Rubbish CIC.

​

The Coastline Runner started in the first year of the UN's Decade of Ocean Science - to overcome frustrations over the lack of efficacy and impact of COP 26 in truly starting to combat the Climate and Ecological Emergency the planet is in - to do something real, and effective.

 

It has turned into a growing initiative with:

(i) immediate results 

(ii) long-term systemic change

in reducing plastic pollution of our seas.

Our first circular T-shirt

This Coastline Runner T-shirt is designed with the circular economy in mind. This means that when it's worn out, you can send it back to us and we'll recycle the material to create a new T-shirt. 

“Shoreline plastic is rubbish just centimeters from entering our seas, harming wildlife and irreversibly entering the food chain. There must be systemic change to help prevent these millions of tonnes from entering the seas every year. Even if you don’t care about other animals in our environment and our beautiful oceans, care about yourself – we ingest the equivalent of one credit card of plastic every week, for goodness sake!” 

- Luke Douglas-Home
