 PROJECT DETAILS

• The project aims to reduce, reuse, recycle and say 'NO' to single-use
plastics.
• Ask your local government units government to follow the
Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2001
and develop a proper Circular Economy for plastics.
• Support calls to action! The ocean needs us to be part of the solution!
 PROJECT SCENARIO
Single-use plastics, or disposable plastics, have become entrenched in the daily lives of our students across
the country. Whether it is a plastic bag from grocery shopping, a stirrer from a morning coffee, a clamshell
container for that convenient on-the-go lunch, or even a simple straw — these easily overlooked and thrown
away items begin to add up. Despite advertisements for more sustainable products like metal straws, re-usable
shopping bags, and ceramic coffee containers, the convenient plastic options are still being used. Despite news
articles regularly showing the damage caused by plastic pollution (images of floating garbage or injured sea
turtles most likely come to mind), apathy towards environmental issues continues to rise.
The goal of this project is to identify an on-going, complicated issue such as the problem of single-use
plastic usage, to investigate the issue by reviewing literature on the topic, and thento respond to the issue
through the enactment of local ordinances, starting in the barangay level, that support this campaign.
These engagements are intended to lobby and raise awareness to potential audience with the issue of
plastics in new ways that may encourage behavioral changes and at the very least encourage personal habits
to be questioned. Methodology from packaging design, product design, interaction design, and video game
design are used to present a message against the usage of single-use plastics.
 PROJECT TASK

1.Plan a litter collection day

Start small by collecting litter as a class on school grounds or in the local neighborhood. You could also join forces with other classrooms, get the whole
school involved, or even work with local municipalities and community action groups to spread the word and take part in a bigger cleanup.
2.Research the pros and cons of using plastic
Ask students to make a poster or presentation showing all the ways we benefit from using plastic and how it can potentially harm the environment. Are
there any plastic products where the benefits outweigh the possible negative environmental impacts? Are there any plastic products we might be able
to reduce or eliminate? What do we do with plastic at the end of its life? Is recycling a good option for the different types of plastics? Why or why not?
3.Keep a journal of single-use plastics
Ask students to keep a journal of the single-use plastics they use over the course of a week (they could even include their whole family in the process!
4.Lobbying and enforcing Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2001
Enactment of No to Single Use Plastic ordinance with the Student Government
