We did plastic waste audit and discovered that the largest share of plastic waste in the playrooms consists of packaging from creative materials, food packaging (despite bulk purchases), and disposable diapers, despite the use of cloth diapers. Most of these are diapers that children arrive in. In this area, we implemented the following activities: 1. Keep it green! activity: Children reviewed the creative materials that contribute to our plastic (and paper) waste. We used waste materials (packaging, cardboard, wood, natural materials) for creative projects, reducing waste in the process. 2. Visit to a reuse center: Preschool children visited a store where discarded items are repaired, refurbished, and resold. They discussed the concept of reuse. 3. Paper dumplings: This practice was introduced in different groups of children and has proven to be effective. 4. Lunch box: Parents were invited to provide lunch boxes for the next full-day trip so that the food provided by the kindergarten could be packed without using foil or plastic bags.
