- Identify alternatives students can use (reusable bottles, metal/bamboo/paper straws, reusable lunch bags, etc.)
- Speak to the principal and staff about the campaign
- Create posters to inform the school campus community and recruit other classes
- Hold a campaign launch day
- Complete the Plastic Free Action Plan.
