People for Planet

Theme: Towards Plastic Free

As this month is Plastic Free July, we will focus on plastic waste!
Join us in our interactive event to discover:

  • What is plastic and why is it a problem?
  • How can we reduce our plastic waste?;
  • How to dispose of our waste and what happens to it after that?;
  • What can we do in our area to improve waste management?

First, there will be an interactive presentation on plastic. Then, we will move for the second half of the event to discussions in groups to find solutions to some waste challenges together.

Adopting a more sustainable lifestyle can be challenging so People for Planet would like to help! With this series of monthly events, People for Planet will discuss with you the obstacles that you face and the applicable solutions to them, and also show some local initiatives that can help you in your journey.

People for Planet
People for Planet is a non-profit organisation that aims to raise awareness and to connect the local community to the systemic actors through collaborative projects in an inclusive and transparent manner. The organisation sees two streams of influence: (1) the individual impact where the focus is on what individuals can do; (2) the systemic change where the focus is on how to drive change in society. This series of events falls under the individual impact stream but this impact can have an influence on the systemic change too.

Being part of the foundation for two years now, our facilitators have experience in organising and hosting different awareness events such as a talk with Cure, the slow Fashion Meetup, a brainstorming session about waste for the City Council, and a political debate, to name a few.

Everybody interested in a more sustainable lifestyle is welcome to join! Accompanied children are also welcome.

Review from an earlier participant:
"I wasn't really sure what to expect, but it was great! Interesting topics, well explained, and I wasn't really aware of the awareness I didn't have in a lot of things and I've learnt a lot today. Seeing all those numbers and percentage lined up made me realize the importance of this. You should go to schools and keep this kind of presentations to kids. Meanwhile, I will keep on following you guys and try to be more aware. Thank you for the presentation and keep up he good work!"
