Become a plastic clever school
Is your school ready to reduce plastic pollution? With the free Plastic Clever schools resources, you can take action today!
The Plastic Clever Schools program motivates and guides young people towards reducing single-use plastic at school and taking action against plastic pollution. In the pilot project in Cameroon, River Cleanup is supporting 10 schools in Douala through this program.
Are you curious about how it works? There are three main parts, each consisting of several assignments. Everything is explained in detail in the material that you can download below.
