A DAY WITHOUT PLASTIC PACKAGING
Students of our school are sensitive and aware young people
who care about the welfare of our planet. That's why they eagerly joined the
pro-environmental school action organized on the occasion of the Day without
plastic packaging celebrated on January 23.
And it was born in 2008 in... Poland.
Students of grades VII and VIII, during classes, expanded
their knowledge of the harmfulness of the use of plastic packaging, as well as
pro-environmental actions taken around the world, such as the Day without
plastic packaging. They were eager to share their ideas on how to reduce the
use of plastic packaging in everyday life.
Although foil is easy to snatch, its resistance to the
decomposition process is exceptionally high - the degradation of a typical
“disposable” plastic bag can take up to several hundred years, while its
average use time is only 25 minutes, while the production of a common “plastic
bag” is less than a second! More than 500 billion plastic bags end up as
garbage every year. These figures should excite our imagination and, above all,
prompt us to take concrete action.
