Short introduction to the module

Plastic is a ubiquitous material that has become an integral part of our daily lives. From food packaging to household items, plastic is everywhere. However, the downside of its convenience and affordability is that it takes hundreds of years to decompose, and its disposal contributes to the ever-growing problem of plastic pollution.

Giving up plastic is a personal choice that can have a significant impact on reducing plastic pollution. By reducing our plastic consumption and choosing more sustainable alternatives, we can help protect the environment and create a cleaner, healthier planet for ourselves and future generations. In this way, giving up plastic is not only a way to reduce our carbon footprint but also an opportunity to live more thoughtfully and sustainably.

In this module, you will learn about the concept of plastic-free – what it is, why it is important, its benefits for the environment, and how to put it into practice. You will then learn a number of tips and tricks to effectively reduce plastic consumption in your daily routine. The tips are easy to implement – anyone can use them and implement them straight away. The module is designed to help you start implementing solutions to reduce your overall plastic consumption and thus improve the environment.
