Our initiative: STOP plastic bags and disposable plastic packaging

On Friday, April 12th, CRO project’s eco-team conducted a couple of workshops to raise ecological awareness. The main title was: STOP plastic bags and disposable plastic packaging.

Eco-team has displayed educational facts on the board so the students and the guests could inform themselves about plastic noxiousness in general, especially about the negative effects of disposable plastic packaging on the environment. To set an example, they were handing out linen bags instead of plastic ones to all students who have participated in the workshops. The linen bags were sewn by students who attend extracurricular activities in the school. Some of the bags had the school motto stamped on it (“Prva je prva“ or “First is the first” ) and some bags were blank so the students had the opportunity to paint them themselves.

Furthermore, students were watching short educational movies about plastic pollution and the negative effects it has on plant and animal life.

In the end, students were offered to calculate their ecological footprint which they did with interest.

PLASTIC BAGS BAN

On 28th of December 2018, Slovenians heard some exciting news. Our government decided that all plastic bags in stores need to be paid for! This was great news because we have to start saving our planet now and not in 10 years, when it’s too late. I think it’s a great way of making people aware of how important recycling plastic bags is. Most people are already supporting complete ban of plastic bags, except the ones we use to put our fruit in because the’re necessary. But if, in the future, we will be able to find an alternative for them, we will completely ban them too.

Soon her friends and other teenagers all over the world started to join her. The 15th of March 2019 was the day people from more than 100 countries gathered and protested for better future.
