Plastic Waste

Download this 21-slide Plastic Waste PowerPoint to use during Waste Week.  This is an informative PowerPoint that highlights the very important topic of plastic waste and environmental damage.  Find out more about what plastic is, who invented it, why it is useful and how much plastic is produced.  This PowerPoint will encourage children (and adults) to consider single-use plastic and the impact of plastic on our environment; how plastic is harmful, what hazards it causes, how long it takes to decompose and how it threatens human, animal and marine life.  There are ideas for children to carry out their own surveys about plastic use in school and to discuss ways in which they can make a difference in reducing plastic use.  A tried and tested resource to download now and use during Waste Week or for work on sustainability.
