Plastic pollution has become a grave concern for our environment, and the Plastic-Free Schools Pilot seeks to address this issue by educating students, teachers, staff and community on the detrimental effects of plastic pollution and reshaping their perception of plastics. The ultimate aim of the project is to contribute to the Sustainable Development goal 14, target 14.1 - “To prevent and significantly reduce marine litter and micro plastics.”

Eco-Campus
The Eco-Campus program encourages higher education institutions to assess their environmental performance and implement a plan for continuous improvement. This can involve a range of activities and initiatives, such as improving waste management, reducing energy and water consumption and promoting the use of sustainable transport. Best practice includes both student driven activities and projects and theory integrated in the curricula.
The goal of Eco-Campus is to create a culture for sustainability in-terms of theoretical and practical learning.
