Your toothbrush is designed to last a lifetime, even though you’ll probably use it for just a few months. Plastic does not disappear; instead, it breaks down into tiny pieces and can remain in the environment for centuries. Today, millions of tonnes of plastic end up in oceans and ecosystems every year, harming marine life and making its way into the food chain.

Despite growing awareness, we're producing, wearing and using more plastic than ever before, around 380–430 million tonnes each year, much of it designed to be used just once. With so much plastic around us, it can be hard to know what difference one person can make.

That’s where this project comes in. In schools, starting wiht screenings of A Plastic Ocean we use games, interactive learning, and open conversation to explore what plastic is, how it’s used, what happens when it becomes waste, and why recycling alone isn’t enough. By making the issue relatable and hands-on, students are encouraged to ask questions and think differently about everyday choices.

Together with the Berlin based non-profit project Stop Microwaste, we focus on practical action and shared responsibility. Young people learn how small decisions, like what we buy, reuse, and throw away, add up. Equipped with knowledge and confidence, students are supported to become ambassadors for more responsible and sustainable use of plastic in their schools, homes, and communities.
