But when teachers empower young people to take direct action and end this problem, we invest in a plastic-free future. This program combines classroom education with community cleanups, building a direct link between students and opportunities for impact in their areas.
Our annual Circular Economy Ambassador Program helps teachers:
1. Educate students in Canada on plastic pollution
2. Learn how to divert waste from landfills
3. Empower students to make an impact
The impact of this work is immediate, as insights from it inform Mind Your Plastic’s municipal policy advocacy work.
