Biggest plastic footprints?

• Organize a “plastic face-off” between your two teams during an event or between your group.
• Everyone in both teams will save the plastic they use over the Camp duration or during the week's meeting, from plastic shopping bags to water bottles to food packaging.
• Have each team create a “mountain” of everything collected and, at the end of the week, make a comparison with a league table. Which mountain is more prominent? What are the main items found in each? Follow up with a discussion.
• Repeat this in one month.

Did the activity make everyone think more about reducing their use of plastic? • Did the final amount of plastic collected shock them? • How about a second showdown to see which team manages to reduce their plastic use more and produce a smaller mountain?
