Make a lasting change
Zero Waste Educators
By teaching about the concepts of circular economy and zero waste we are helping kids and young people gain a life-long skill that will have a positive impact on the environment in the future. We are shaping the relationship of future people with our planet and its natural resources.
A circular economy is a skill that every one of us will need in a near future not just in our everyday life but more and more in our careers. It is already required to tackle climate change, reduce the unnecessary waste we produce and rationalize the use of our limited natural resources.
