About
WHAT IS PLASTIC FREE CAMPUS?
Plastic Free Campus, PFC is dedicated to helping schools fight single-use plastic pollution worldwide. PFC helps schools make a difference for the environment, social justice and our own health.
WHY?
- Plastic pollution is a real issue – just look around
- Plastics are made from oil and gas and their production harms our environment from added greenhouse gases.
- Nature can’t digest it, Plastics break UP into smaller pieces called micro-plastics. It never breaks down.
- Plastics affect millions of sea and land creatures who are injured or killed eating them.
- Plastics are now found everywhere: in our food, drink, in nature and all over the planet.
- Plastic food and drink packaging often contain harmful chemical additives that affect human health.
Therefore, we need to kick the plastics habit.
HOW?
- Enabling schools and communities to make a meaningful environmental impact
- Inspiring students to adopt sustainable values within their own live
- Empowering them throughout the art of negotiation and self-guided research.
