Action takers & Conversations

Lots of activists around the world are motivating people to stop polluting the planet. Many conversations are happening at political level, but it is important that we as citizens have to step up. Plastic Patrol is an initiative to fight the pollution of our environment and to join conversations about climate change.

On a weekly basis we collect plastic bottles and waste in our community. We have some interesting plans for all the collected plastic which we will shortly share here. One upcycling project has already started - visit Upcycling Projects. Also, we are developing ways to educate the local community and create fundraising projects that the income they make goes straight back to plastic patrol upcycling and education projects.

Even though recycling isn't the solution to all the plastic in the world, we do want to share a few tips for recycling plastic:

Pick up plastic around your house/community/society. If there is a common place to bring them too or if it is collected from your house, then make sure to seperate your plastic.

Before using any plastic always make sure you have washed it thoroughly.

Make flower cups around your house or other places.

Don't use plastic bags for shopping. Use your bamboo woven basket for instance.

Buy and use more recycled materials.

Together we can save our world and make it a cleaner place for us and our future.

Turning left-over plastic into bags for plastic collection.

For our younger generations, we wanted to create something that could help protect the Earth and also amaze the world. So, we started turning plastic waste into art. Our goal is to show how we can use creativity to solve environmental problems. By making art out of plastic, we're not only helping the planet, but also inspiring others to care about our world and take action to protect it.

We are working together to reduce the impact of plastic on our planet, and by doing so, we believe we can create a better world for all of us .
Every effort we make to reduce plastic waste brings us one step closer to a cleaner and healthier environment. Together, we can make a positive difference for ourselves and future generations.

Skills

We are learning perseverance, team work and commitment. Even though we feel exhausted after collecting plastic, we will never be exhausted to save our world!
