“Cap after cap” to correctly differentiate plastic in Verona
Article published on: 15 December 2022
An excellent result for the Province of Verona which stands out for the values of differentiated waste collection, in the 58 Municipalities of the North Verona Basin Council, almost reaching 80%. And yet, it is still possible to improve in contrasting the alarming data on pollution from plastics and, at the same time, decrease the costs of waste treatment and disposal. In fact, over 310 million tons of plastic are produced every year and 8 million of these still end up in the seas, oceans and lakes. Plastic pollution disrupts the fragility of ecosystems and affects a multitude of ecosystems.
Thus was born an awareness campaign on the importance of correctly differentiating plastic, enhancing its potential for recycling and reuse. “Cap by cap” it aims to educate future generations through creativity, imagination and responsibility.
The environmental education project “Cap after Cap” brings a story to schools that simulates the collection of plastic, explaining how harmful the dispersion of plastic in the environment is. In an initial phase, the initiative will involve some classes of primary schools in the Municipalities that are part of the Verona North Basin Council, thanks to eight laboratories.
Other workshops on the subject will be aimed at lower secondary school classes in collaboration with the Film Festival della Lessinia, partner of the Verona North Basin Council in the protection and enhancement of the territory. While, to sensitize citizens, both local initiatives and a communication campaign coordinated with the Municipalities are envisaged.
