Our educational programming covers the various effect’s plastic has on our environment, health and climate. Through a series of lessons, videos, surveys, and projects, students will learn how to identify different plastic, the life stages of plastics, and even apply course materials onto our Home Audit project, where students will categorize different plastics by resin ID code, identify its producer, brand and collaborate to identify the top plastic polluting brands entering their communities. Students will also receive both Spanish and English educational videos that focus on sustainable and renewable products, along with a series of advocacy campaigns which will engage students in local, state and federal policy actions.
