Module Title	Module5: Labelling on plastic materials
Activity Title	Microplastic and labels
Activity Code	A4.1	Duration of Activity (in minutes)	40
Aim of activity	We have realized so far, the importance of recycling plastic material and how it should be used to avoid environmental pollution. But have we also understood what is the effect of microplastics and what effort can be done to reduce and classified it? Read and reflect on the following article about labelling of microplastics in cosmetics https://www.cosmeticsdesign-asia.com/Article/2016/11/09/Greenpeace-on-microplastics-and-labelling
Materials Required for Activity	Attention, willingness to understand, a sheet of paper and a pen.
Step by step instruction	After reading the article carefully, write down three questions to ask your partner who will then have to do the same. At the end of the activity reflect on your answers. Were the answers the same? Do you share the same thoughts? After that you will share the main concept of the answers with your classroom. You can share a picture of yourself doing this activity on our social networks (Facebook or Instagram) by adding the tag #RescueProjectEU.

Second activity

Module Title	Module5: Labelling on plastic materials
Activity Title	The Plastic-Free Show

Aim of activity	Students will create pieces of art with a plastic-free focus.

Step by step instruction	Equip yourself with plastic bottles, sheets, and any other plastic material you have in your classroom or school and let your imagination run wild. Once you have completed this you can create a contest on Facebook or Instagram using the tag #RescueProjectEU.
