Description

The Scouts are working hard to reduce the use of plastics, reuse plastic bags and other such items, and recycle all the waste that can be transformed and reused.

They started their project with an awareness and information campaign in newspapers and on the radio. These articles and programmes explain the many uses of plastics, and also the possibilities to recycle them and transform them into new products.

Scout groups are working in their communities, and in particular in schools, to convince people to change their habits and to show them how to recycle their plastic waste. In addition, they are taking part in cleaning-up projects, to limit the damage already done to the environment.
