Water pollution has been recognized as a serious global problem that affects not only oceans but also lakes and rivers. The River Thames, which serves millions of people along its 346-kilometer course, has been no exception. Many plans have been carried out to clean the river, but new problems have required more creative ideas. With the increase in single-use plastics, plastic waste has become a major source of water pollution.


水汙染被認定為嚴重的全球問題,不只影響海洋也影響湖泊和河川。在其長三百四十六公里的河道沿岸供養數百萬人們的泰晤士河,也不例外。已經實施了很多清理該河的計畫,但新的問題需要更多有創意的想法。隨著一次性塑膠製品增加,塑膠垃圾已變成水汙染的主要來源。
