Start with WHY..

In the modern and industrial European country such as Czech Republic was in 2020 recycled only 30% of plastic material, 39% was burned as a certified fuel and remaining ended up somewere else. People can collect it but do not know how to reuse it. In my opinion, problem is in the ignorance. I believe that education with real examples can increase awarness about lowering consumption of single use plastic, reusing and recycling. Young generation should know about plastic more information that I learned as a teenager. We have an ability to choose how our future World will look like.

Choose activity you want to do

As an example I prepared content for 3 different activites that you can do. It was designed according to my experience for machines and tools I use. AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITY FOR KIDS: + many topics described on detal + regular basis + more time for creative activities + space for development + individual approach - suitable only for small group - requires a facility and equipment PRESENTATION AT SCHOOL: + larger impact + demonstration technology on site + cheaper than regular hobby club + presentation at school - a brief overview about problem - not enough time to explain everything WORKSHOP FOR PUBLIC: + individual approach + creative and education activities + participants make their own product + providing advices how to join pp + single afternoon activity - suitable for small groups - requires a facility and equipment
