The London Stand Up Paddle Co is proud to be recognised as an official Planet Patrol partner, as part of a global network, hosting regular clean ups along the River Thames between Richmond and Teddington Locks.
Planet Patrol was set up in 2015 by adventurer and environmentalist, Lizzie Carr (aka Lizzie Outside) who paddle boarded 400 miles - the length of England - raising awareness of the damaging impact of litter on our waterways, recording everything she encountered in a global map.
Fast forward to present day and Planet Patrol has more than 150 official reps worldwide and alongside efforts from volunteers we’ve helped remove 320,000+ pieces of litter from nature. Everything is recorded in the Planet Patrol app, adding to a global evidence base that is used to campaign at industry and government level.
Planet Patrol’s target is to pick up and record one million pieces of litter - and all our clean ups will count towards this target.
