Sustainability and caring for the planet are not a one-day task – with small steps every day, we can mitigate the consequences of climate change. Environmental pollution is a global problem that threatens the Earth, animals and people. Although industry creates the greatest pollution, individual behavior also has a significant impact. A special problem is improper waste disposal, which pollutes the air, water, soil and biosphere. This disrupts natural processes and endangers plant and animal life, which leads to a decrease in biodiversity.

The solution is recycling – proper sorting and reuse of waste. Unfortunately, a lot of garbage ends up in nature due to irresponsible handling. Our project shows how waste can be collected, sorted and used in new ways. By recycling, we reduce its harmful impact on the environment and protect the only home we have.

Collect, sort, recycle – for a better future!
