Project: Reducing plastic waste 

Team: Angela Diljak & Liranda Kurtesi

Effects:

We want people to realize how much plastic waste is created during the day and that it effects us negatively. 

Methods:

We want to inform people on how much plastic is used for ready-made foods and how all of the plastic effects our environment. Also we're going to make an effort to reduce our personal use of it to set a good example. 

Strategy:

We're going to research how many greenhouse gases are created for the production of plastic packaging, then we're going to write a report on how that effects our environment. After that we're going to monitor how much waste we create ourselves and try to find ways to reduce that amount. We might do a survey to see how many people buy wrapped food to see how bad the situation really is.

Audience:

Students and working people that tend to eat out a lot. But really anyone is welcome to read our article. 

Lunch time

Most students don't take lunch with them. They spend money to eat out or sometimes they buy their lunch at grocery stores like Coop or Migros and so on. 

Now why would that affect the environment?

It's because buying lunch produces a lot of plastic waste. Salads, joghurts, berries and more all come in plastic packaging. 

How can we reduce the use of plastic packaging?

We should bring our own utensils and reuse the things we bought as many times as possible. 
We should also bring our own reusable bottles.

I like to wear make-up. But I also know, that it's usually full of chemicals, or at least for the most part it is. 

Now I would like to know how bad it really is for the environment and what make-up brands do to help fight climate change.

In Switzerland most bottles can get recycled if they have the PET label on them and if they're disposed of correctly.

Now a question that I have asked myself is, if recycling plastic bottles is significantly effective in the fight against climate change? 

This topic is important to me because I like to drink sweet drinks so I buy plastic bottles a lot...
