Amazing Hungarian project to educate young generation about plastic pollution

A committed Hungarian team is raising money on Kickstarter for their love project, which is a wonderful and unique book series that would teach young children about the devastating effects of plastic consumption, 24.hu reports.

In today’s world, people are very much aware of the horrible effects of plastic pollution. The production, consumption and destruction of plastic seriously damage the environment. The millions of tonnes of plastic floating around the oceans damage their whole ecosystem, and contribute to the fact that at the end of day, this plastic gets back to us and we might consume it through fish and not carefully purified water.

It is estimated that by the year 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than consumable marine animals.

Most types of plastic need decades or even hundreds of years to decompose. Unfortunately, the most commonly used form of plastic destruction is by incineration which produces toxic chemicals that pollute the air, land and water. Even though progress has been made in that department, the more modern and safer alternatives of plastic destruction, that do not produce toxic chemicals, simply cannot keep up with the world’s plastic consumption.

Luckily, there are more and more organisations and start-up companies who fight against plastic pollution, and progressive solutions to the ever growing waste problem are created. A Hungarian team of dedicated environmental and communicational professionals called BEE Environmental Communication has decided to join the fight against plastic pollution with a wonderful idea and with a new perspective.

BEE Environmental Communication aims to fight plastic pollution through education and prevention. The group targets the younger generations, and puts an emphasis on educating and raising awareness about environmental problems early on. Their goal, as they put it on their website is “to help nurture the next generation of eco-warriors.”
