In this activity, students conduct a plastic audit to explore how much plastic waste is produced in their classroom, lunchroom, or school. They sort, count, and weigh plastic items to identify recyclable and non-recyclable waste and better understand how plastic pollution affects local waterways. The activity encourages students to recognize their environmental impact and discover ways to reduce plastic use in their daily lives.
