Environmental education program created in 2019 and promoted by Movimento Claro in partnership with Cascais Municipality in schools of Cascais. This project aims to promote awareness towards the excessive usage of single-use plastics and show how the plastic recycling process works by using the Precious Plastic machines.

What’s it about?

Each class has two sessions: one theoretical and one practical.

In addition, students also learn about the current situation of the recycling process and tips on how to reduce our carbon footprint.

Activity 1: object creation with Precious Plastic machines
Activity 2: quiz about what was learned in the previous session with prizes
Activity 3: brainstorming session in order to create a 1-2 minutes video on how people can reduce their carbon footprint
