REMOVING PLASTIC & URBAN POLLUTION AT THE SOURCE

Untitled-design-7.png

Plastic production, especially single-use plastic, is increasing at a terrifying rate. Annually 400,000 million tonnes of plastic is produced across the planet, and 80 million tonnes will end up across Earth’s waterway environments and oceans. Stormwater transports much of this plastic litter, along with toxic road runoff, chemicals, organic matter and sediment from our roads, gardens, farms and building sites.

We must find solutions and alternatives to remove pollution and reduce our growing single-use plastic consumption.

The Stormwater Shepherd’s approach is one of Positive Action, Education and Technical Expertise.

OUR STORY

On opposite sides of the world, two patriarchs Stephen Hales (AUS) and Paul Pocock (UK) individually and unknowingly took charge to help clean local watercourses from industrial pollution. United through SPEL, the Hales family and Pocock family are now investing in Stormwater Shepherds – the inspiration and passion of SPEL’s General Manager Andy Hornbuckle, for a future where clean water will transpire across our planet.

Decades later, Stormwater Shepherds is reigniting the charge to help stop plastic and urban pollution at the source.

Our Vision is for the world’s waters to be clean water, free of plastic and urban pollution

The most effective way to reduce the harmful effects of stormwater pollution is to prevent it from entering our waterways. This is a combination approach targeting education, knowledge sharing and improved stormwater infrastructure.

Our focus is to stop the plastic and urban pollution at the source through

  • Positive Action – helping restore inland waterway environments
  • Education – providing a deeper awareness of the importance of stormwater networks and the impacts of plastic and urban pollution on all lifeforms
  • Expert Advice – for long-term sustainable approaches to successfully managing plastic pollution

We believe in the value of connection, communication and collaboration to influence and guide how we can help protect life in our world’s watercourses, whether human or animal.

Togetherness is strength.
