Eliminating plastic from our life is not an easy task!

Disposable plastic products, from straws to water bottles to plastic bags, are all around us. We now produce 260 million tons of plastic annually. In fact, by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. We’ve also seen pictures of marine life suffocating from plastic—100,000 marine mammals and one million seabirds are killed from plastic in the ocean every year. As a result, plastic is choking marine life, our waterways and our bodies.

But our actions can make a difference! This is the reason why the Erasmus+ students were set the challenge to live one day without plastic and to report their reaction to such a task. Watch the video below to find out how our students rose up to the task and what they discovered in the process!
