Explanation:
. Hold an educational film screening or talk
The first step is, of course, education. Holding a film screening or talk that conveys the issues of ocean plastic is the most effective way to explain WHY you are taking action as a school to reduce plastic waste. It’s helpful to invite parents to get involved too so that they will be supportive of the project.
Perhaps you could organise the film screening or talk to happen at different times of the day, or on several dates, to give people lots of opportunities to participate. Having someone who is passionate about the problem (ideally a student, or a group of students) available to answer questions at the end makes it more interactive. We recommend the films Plastic Oceans or Trashed. We also offer talks, although we currently need to charge for these, until we attract funding to cover our time and travel.
2. Organise school, park, river and beach cleans
One of the best ways to get people engaged with the issue is to let them see for themselves the scale of the problem; how the plastic they use in their everyday lives is spilling out into nature. Organising regular clean up events – on your school premises, or at a local park, river or beach – is a brilliant bonding exercise for classes, the whole school, or your entire community.
