Anything that sounds too good to be true probably is.

Plastic is no exception. Cheap, durable, and light, plastic has made its way into every country, every society, every lifestyle. Yes, it makes life easier in lots of ways. Who amongst us can say they’ve never used a plastic straw, plastic shopping bag, or plastic spoon?

But here’s the downside:

Our production and consumption of single-use plastics and our inability to manage plastic waste sustainably have led to a massive pollution problem. Marine litter and microplastics are flooding our oceans and are hurting marine ecosystems and human health on an unprecedented scale

About the challenge

The challenges are grouped into three levels—entry level (A), leader level (B), and champion level (C)—with background information in between that will help you learn more about specific issues related to plastics, plastic waste, and plastic pollution.

Each level of challenges comes with a scoring system. Scoring enough points at each stage entitles you to move on to the next level of challenges. Why wait around?

Let’s get underway!
