Join us in our mission to reduce the use of plastic on a global scale
Memberships
Society is now more aware than ever about the damage we are inflicting upon the world in which we live.
Plastic is everywhere. After packaging, the construction industry is the biggest polluter of our environment and our oceans in particular.
We learnt too late about the damage asbestos did. We know about the damage plastic is doing. Act now, before it is too late.
Rather than passively standing by and watching the destructive effect plastic is having on the environment and numerous species with which we cohabit the planet, SIGN UP and actively engage with us.
Make sure that in the war against plastic, you can tell your children and grandchildren, you played your part.
Why Become a member of Changing Streams
Because, like us, you are aware of the damage plastic is doing to the planet and its wildlife and you want to play your part in reducing this damage. Because after packaging, the construction industry is the biggest culprit.
Because the Green Agenda is gathering momentum and governing bodies world–wide are now alive to the problem, so you will be at a disadvantage commercially unless you adopt and promote a sustainability programme within your organisation.
Let us help you on your journey to achieve a reduction in your use of plastic
