As an advocate of the Cleaner Thames campaign, I would like to petition against littering in the River Thames. This crisis is vital to everyone as the cleanliness of the river affects the population of London, plus it harms and threatens our wildlife. Furthermore, we are a part of the next generation so we must conserve the River Thames to use the river for leisure and to stay safe.

Through this petition, I would like to stop citizens from littering in the River Thames. In addition, I would want this petition to encourage the government to raise awareness and provide solutions to discontinue littering in the Thames. This is because, it is the government's responsibility to keep the water quality clean. We expect the government to provide a grant for charities like Thames 21, who voluntarily clean up the river however, they need funds to continue their contribution to cleaning the environment. We also believe that the government should prosecute offenders and introduce spot fines to act as a deterrent.

I spent this morning walking along the riverbank and seeing the plastic debris piling up near the shore broke my heart again. My inbox is filling up with your personal stories about why this river means so much to the health of our city. I am currently compiling all of your feedback to present directly to my local representatives so they cannot ignore the state of our water any longer.

Seeing this kind of momentum confirms that I am not alone in my anger at the trash ruining our river. It feels incredible to know so many of you care about protecting our wildlife and our future.
