Aim of activity	The aim of this activity is to assess and test the participant’s creativity in the context of fitting into a plastic-free concept. By pointing out alternatives to plastic items, the participant will think of ways in which he can reduce the use of plastic in the context of his own activity.
Materials Required for Activity	a sheet of paper and a pen
Step-by-step instruction	Think about the situations in which you most often use plastic items (for example cutlery, plastic bags, etc.). Choose 5 such examples and write them down on a piece of paper. Then, in the next 5 points underneath, write down ideas of what you can replace the plastic items used in the above situations with. Be creative. Think about what material or items you have at home, so you do not need to make new purchases. Try to find as many plastic alternatives as possible in your chosen situations from your life.
