The objectives are organising educational and clean-up campaigns that provide a pretext for talking about the wave of plastic that is flooding the Earth.

- Providing the first card in Poland made of eco-plastic that decomposes faster than plastic.
- Organization of clean-up days along the coast, along rivers and along trails in Poland.
- International Plastic Odyssey project to help solve the world's plastic waste problem.
An innovative element of the #LessPlastic campaign has been the launch of Plastic Odyssey project, an around-the-world expedition to build a global network of local initiatives to combat plastic pollution. In October 2022, a special laboratory ship set sail from the port of Marseille. Over the course of three years, it will sail around three continents: Africa, Latin America and Asia and will stop at 30 ports. On board the ship are simple recycling machines that can easily, with few tools, be built anywhere in the world. The ship's crew will teach local communities how to build such machines and convert used plastic into new reusable items. The project is supported by various entities that are united by the #LessPlastic campaign.
Raising awareness on environmentally friendly practices, ones that can initiate social initiatives and group activities to save our planet. The presented practice green initiative is in fact 3 different initiatives that not only promotes but should motivate and encourage towards #LessPlastic. Similar initiatives could be #LessPaper, #LessWater or #LessEnergy – supported by known companies or combined with the organization of “water-free” or “energy-free” days.
