Shortly describe your project

Challenge: A week without packaging

Become an eco-hero! Can you go a whole week without using any single-use packaging?

The school eco-team is launching a challenge for all classes:

When: all next week

Goal: bring your snack every day in a box or other reusable container – no bags, plastic wrap, or other single-use packaging!

How does it work?

1. We inform:

The eco-team will put up posters and post the challenge on the school's Facebook page and in the Edupage system. We will contact teachers, parents, and you, the students.

2. We document:

Every day during the long break, the class teacher will take photos of the lunch boxes of the children who are participating. We will display the photos on the bulletin board or in an online gallery. Inspire others!

3. Challenge rules:

All you have to do is have a snack without packaging every day – just in a box, waxed paper, cloth bag, etc.

Why does this make sense?

  • You will reduce the amount of waste produced by the school.
  • You will show that you care about nature.
  • You might even develop a great new habit that will last long after the challenge is over!

Bonus:

Can you do it for a whole week? Great! Keep going—it will become an eco-friendly habit.
