The Cleaner Thames campaign is all about stopping rubbish getting in the River Thames.

Every year hundreds of tonnes of plastic bottles, food wrappers and other rubbish gets into the Thames, harming creatures including fish, seals and birds. Backed by international explorer, Paul Rose the campaign has a simple message: Bin it for a Cleaner Thames.

Our featured videos are part of the Vision Project.

Voices of the Thames enabled us to conduct a series of interviews with people who love the river to find out What the Thames means to them.

You can also browse the PLA video archive in our Media Centre or via our YouTube channel.
