Education
Education is the best method to address plastic pollution. Most of the plastic waste that enters the environment, harms marine life, and infiltrates our water systems is done so unwillingly! We recognize that given the opportunity, proper perspective, and motivation, people will be more conscious of their plastic waste actions.
We believe in:
Educational Resources: 🏫
To solve any problem, the parameters must be clearly defined. We aim to inspire everyone to think before tossing out their waste by providing information about the recycling process and the impacts of our current system. We also developed a detailed user manual.
Interactive Demos: 🛍️
To inspire others to rethink their plastic waste, certain partners host interactive demonstrations of plastic reduction and the recycling process. These demos encompass shredding plastic bottles and bags to create rope, bags, wallets, and other homemade products.
Community Outreach: 🗪
Any sustainable solution requires the input and support of the community. We have been working with several community initiatives to come that help make this project a success.
The SDGs
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice.
By providing avenues of learning, collaboration, and partnerships, the CT River Valley Precious Plastics aims to promote responsible consumption and production when combatting plastic pollution.
