Our Aims
Kids Against Plastic (KAP) aims to help young people (and not so young people) to learn about environmental issues such as plastic pollution and the Climate Crisis.
Through free resources, initiatives and the awesome KAP Club, we try to inspire and empower others into action.
Thank you for visiting, we really appreciate it.

We all need to take Action
As young people, we know that no matter how big or how small, we all have our own part to play in making the planet a better place.
The biggest barrier to overcoming the Climate Crisis or plastic pollution is to think that someone else will take the action needed.
Our awesome KAP Club Members are amazing group of passionate changemakers and advocates for our environment that inspire and motivate us everyday.

Kids against Plastic is a charity FOR young people RUN BY young people, so we are always excited to see new members join Kids Against Plastic.
If you’re interested in your child joining the KAP Club, then check out the KAP Club page for more information.
If your child doesn’t want to join the KAP Club, there are a few ways they cans till be involved:
They can support Ali’s #1MillionLitterPick campaign or Skye’s #KAPtat campaign.
Alternatively, they can encourage their school to use free school resources: Plastic Clever Schools, Climate Clever Schools, Climate Action Teams (CATs) or our Letter Writing scheme of work.
Another way to get involved is to take part in the Action Academy online youth empowerment course.
Kids Against Plastic has several initiatives aimed at schools. All of the KAP initiatives are fully resourced and free to use.
Plastic Clever Schools is for schools wishing to reduce the amount of avoidable plastics they use.
Climate Clever Schools has been designed to help schools to reduce their climate impact.
Climate Action Teams (C.A.T.s) is for busy Eco Leaders. It is packed with a year’s worth of ideas and resources for a weekly lunchtime or after-school club. It’s a real time-saving resource!
Yes! We are happy for any school (or homeschooler) to use our resources.
There are couple of steps to the registration process in order for it to be a safe community. A child or young person needs a responsible adult to support them through the registration process.
Step one is the complete the Registration form. Once a registration form has been submitted by a parent/ carer, the email address they used is verified. The membership is then pending approval.
Step two is the approval of the membership. This requires the parent / carer to submit a photograph of their child (for identification purposes only) and to agree to some Ts and Cs. Once this step has been completed, a member from the KAP Team will manually approve the membership application.
A photo needs to be uploaded so that the KAP Team can do a visual check of members if/whenever they join a weekly KAP Connect meeting on Zoom. N.B. members photographs will never be used or shared by KAP.
We started our environmental work back in 2016 when we were 12 and 10 years old when we were concerned about the amount of single-use plastic being used and littered, and the impact it was having on the environment and the wildlife we share this planet with.
We decided to do our bit and to start taking action.
We are still driven by a passion to protect the environment today, and work hard to empower and motivate other young people to do so.
We’d love for any budding young environmental ‘actionists’ to join our cause – we’re keen to work with BIG kids (adults), too.
If you’re interested, please do get in touch.
Thank you for visiting Kids Against Plastic – we really appreciate it.
