KidsCanFixTheWorld
It's up to us.
Let’s face it. The adults have made a mess of this world. Now it’s up to us to fix it.
Not only are the adults unable to stop burning fossil fuels, but they've also been unsuccessful in doing anything about all the PLASTIC that's polluting every corner of our planet and our bodies!
​
Are you kidding???
​
The only solution is for us, who will have to live with this plastic crisis for our lifetimes, to show them how it's done. So, here are two things that we can do right now:
ONE: It’s about time we get rid of plastic water bottles in our
schools. They take about 400 years to fully break down into
microplastics, which is even worse! Re-useable water bottles are cheap, and if you absolutely have to, you can always get water in paper boxes or cans.
TWO: Get your school district to require their vendors to stop
using plastic packing materials...things like bubble wrap and styrofoam peanuts. Packing and packaging materials account for almost 40% of all plastic waste!
If we can get it together we can make a huge difference. There are more than 13,000 public school districts and more than 3,500 private high schools in the country. Just imagine how much single-use plastic waste could be eliminated!
