Collecting Data on Plastic Pollution In Our Communities
Who
Quarantined, or avidly practicing social distancing in them midst of the COVID-19 Planet Pandemic?
Here’s something you can do to meaningfully impact your home, community, country, and indeed the planet.
This is for persons from ages 3 to 103. Pre K- plus: Continuing/Ongoing Education: Formal, Informal and Non-Formal Sectors Children ages 3 to 103 Educators (all Levels from preK) Change Agents, Community & other Leaders, Policy & Decision Makers, Train the Trainers, Sustainable Community Development Planners, Leaders, NGOs
- List 2-4 learning objectives for your implementation plan. As you determine your instructional goals, consider:
Objectives:
- To inspire participants to drive action for change, beginning with adjusting their own lifestyles for in their homes and communities for more conscious actions to reduce plastic use and pollution.
- To enhance the data bank of information on plastic use and disposal.
- To develop participant s’ skills in data collection, critical analyses and use for informed decision making and effect long term attitude and behavioural change in use of plastics and non-biodegradable substances
- To increase understanding about the harmful effects of use of plastics on the environment
- and empower communities and authorities to act against plastic pollution and institute plastic reuse and recycling, inspired by children
- Why do you think your students should collect data in order to affect positive change?
Participants can make an impact on national and regional scale by adjusting their own actions and habits, owning responsibility, taking charge and driving conscious actions from within their homes and communities into awareness and understanding about responsibility. In this way, their actions can influence parents and elders as leaders and decision makers at home, in the community, in industry and at national and regional policy levels.
- Why is it important for your students to learn about plastic pollution in your community?
While there is general awareness of plastic pollution as an issue, few realise how close to home it is and how adjusting individual consumption habits can impact broader changes in community and society. This focusses on sensitising and adjusting the attitudes and actions of next generation leaders and decision makers about the growing indiscriminate use of plastics and arbitrary disposal. As a largely agricultural and ecological rural district, the impact of plastic accumulation on soil quality and can directly affect sources of income and sources of food. Additionally, the main focus of national recycling programmes are in the urban centres and less emphasis is placed on rural communities. Participants can drive the community actions for greater involvement and inclusion of rural districts in national programmes.
It is also meant to cull skills in gathering sound information in support of their causes.
To cultivate their community and social consciousness.
To help shape their outlooks as responsible and empowered citizens.
To prepare them as next generation of leaders to awareness, understanding and change.
To influence and change the behaviour of adults, parents and leaders.
Data is an important tool in civic action for change. The process of data collection is itself a mechanism for building awareness and growing consciousness. Additionally, it is an empowerment tool that it provides the information and evidence to drive action and policy and legislative change. The data collected will be used for lobby and advocacy to increase awareness and understanding about use of plastics and promote more conscious attitudes and behaviour to plastics use, reuse and recycling and repurposing. It will be used to inform education and other policies in the community.
