our River our Ocean without Plastic!
our River our Ocean without Plastic! traced plastic waste from Berlin’s River Panke through the Spree, Havel and Elbe to the North Sea. Students used Plastic Pirates Go Europe methods, collected plastic for an art installation, investigated microplastics, kept household rubbish diaries and developed algae-based drinking capsules.
Aim
To make plastic migration from local rivers to the ocean tangible, helping students understand pollution pathways and develop practical alternatives to single-use plastics.
