Discuss possible solutions

• Reduce: Buy only what you need, choose durable products.
• Reuse: Donate or repair instead of replacing.
• Recycle: Use certified e-waste collection points.
• Demonstrate how to find local drop-off locations.

 

Campaign Action Plan OUTREACH

• Brainstorm slogans (e.g., “Don’t Trash It – Recycle It!”).

Create posters to raise awareness. Posters will be shared with the local community (e.g. shared on the local council Facebook page) and judged by the Mayor. The best poster wins a book.
