Teachers and Students Books
Empower the next generation to understand, reduce, and rethink plastic use.
Discover two powerful educational tools designed for teachers and students (14–18) to turn knowledge into action and tackle plastic pollution in classrooms and beyond.
THE CHALLENGE and THE SOLUTION
Plastic pollution is one of the most urgent environmental challenges of our time. Every year, millions of tonnes of plastic end up in our oceans, rivers, and soils; most of it never recycled, and once it’s out there, it doesn’t disappear. From microplastics in water to toxic emissions from waste, plastic affects the environment, marine life, and human health. But this crisis is not only about waste; it’s about choices, systems, and behaviours. And that means it can be changed.
Education is where that change begins. The Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm (BRS) Conventions Secretariat has developed a complete educational toolkit to help young people understand the science behind plastic pollution, explore its real-world impacts, and take meaningful action because this is not just learning, it’s learning that leads to change.
