Meet with students from schools where they have successfully implemented a school-wide event.
Panel Discussion April 14 5pm PST, 8pm EST
Below are some ideas that we will touch on:
Experience the Challenge Firsthand
You’ll realize how deeply embedded single-use plastics are in daily routines.
It highlights the convenience of plastic and the effort needed to avoid it, fostering empathy and understanding.
Raise Awareness
Taking the challenge helps you and those around you recognize the extent of plastic consumption.
Sharing your experience encourages peers, family, and community members to reduce their plastic use.
Inspire Sustainable Habits
One day of refusing single-use plastic can kickstart lifelong changes.
Simple actions like carrying reusable bags, bottles, and utensils can become second nature.
Understand the Environmental Impact
Over 8 million tons of plastic enter the ocean every year, harming wildlife and ecosystems.
Single-use plastics take 400–1,000 years to break down, often turning into harmful microplastics.
Empower Yourself to Make a Difference
Small changes add up: if one person refuses a plastic bottle daily, that’s 365 fewer plastic bottles in a year.
Collective action leads to large-scale change and influences policies and practices.
Promote Healthier Oceans
Reducing plastic pollution protects marine life and helps maintain healthy oceans.
Participating supports SDG 14: Life Below Water, aimed at conserving marine ecosystems.

Be part of a growing community advocating for a plastic-free future.
