S.T.O.P. - Students Take on Plastics
Students Take on Plastic (S.T.O.P.) is an initiative borne out of the Ban the Bag Conference at the Hewitt School (NY) in 2013 and their follow-up student training on how to talk to lawmakers to encourage them to pass legislation that bans or places a surcharge on single use plastic bags.
Single use plastic represents one of many challenges to a sustainable future for our planet. Green Schools Alliance students have shown that this is a challenge they are ready to meet head on. Young people deserve a seat at the table in deciding their future, and S.T.O.P. provides them a template for citizen action they can implement immediately. This campaign can apply both to single-use plastic bag or bottles.
