Litter Less Competition

Spring Clean is here! And as part of our annual campaign we are excited to announce a new opportunity for your pupils to investigate and tackle single-use plastic in their school or community.

There are prizes to be won with the winner being awarded £300 to put their proposal into action. 2nd place will receive £200 while 5 runners-up will each receive £100.

We invite Eco-Committees and classes to:

Explore the impacts that single-use plastic and plastic pollution can have on children’s rights (this can be done from a local or a global perspective),
Create a proposal on how they would seek to reduce or refuse plastic waste, and how this would support and promote children’s rights,
Prepare a budget to implement their proposal,
Pitch their ideas to us in a video presentation.

The competition deadline is Friday 9 May.

Step 1: Watch the video

We have a short recorded lesson on the competition which gives pupils a chance to start the discussion around the issues of single-use plastic, introduces the UNCRCs, and explores how these two can be connected.
