  • The first steps toward a zero-waste future: ask citizens of the UP, and students of affiliated schools about what they think of their waste production and what they do to prevent waste generation in their daily school (or home) activities - involving UNIV TV (in the form of interviews/articles).
  • Collect ideas together in schools on how to reduce the amount of waste generated locally. For example, in the UP affiliated schools, in the context of the environment lesson, a project or cooperative work could be to ask children to look up information on glass and plastic materials and then present the information and interesting facts to the class in the form of a presentation.
