Help beat plastic pollution by taking part in the Kids Plastic Planet Challenge
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Completing the challenge is easy:
A winning poster design will be nominated for in each age category (5-7/8-11) from all school entries. These designs will be used to create a customised design for refillable BPA free plastic bottle. The winning schools will each receive 50 customised bottles for their eco-teams and teachers.
The challenge will launch on UN World Environment Day, June 5th and will run until midnight on the 5th July 2018.
You will be notified by the 10th July if your school has won.
Young people who put their posters up at home (after judging) and send in a photo of it, have a chance to earn a special certificate. Details below.
