The time to act is now.

Stop using single-use plastic water bottles, for the sake of the ocean.

#OneLess was set up as an experiment to turn the tide against single-use plastic within a complex urban setting. Together with collaborators, we have eliminated 9 million single-use plastic items; dispensed 981,000 refills from new drinking fountains; and removed 137,000 bottles from the River Thames. The campaign is now a London-wide network achieving positive action every day, evolving its approach for different parts of the globe.

A roadmap for London

#OneLess has catalysed a change in the way Londoners drink water, from single-use plastic water bottles to refilling and reusing. However, we know that more action is needed to achieve the ambitious goal of permanently eliminating single-use plastic water bottles from London.

Our latest research has revealed some achievable and exciting opportunities for positive change that will enable London to continue along the road to becoming a more ocean-friendly city. Whether you’re a policy maker, a business or community group, here’s how you can further the movement and play your part.
