Need:
Waste plastic items
Tape
Scissors
PC with Word or Publisher, or similar
Common Sense Assessment:
Scissors—be careful when cutting plastic not to cut yourself.
Sharp edges—round off any sharp points, or make sure they’re not going to injure anyone.
Do:
My original idea was to do this in patrols, and to make one big plastic sculpture out of all the bits of plastic you’d collected. We obviously can’t do that.
So, I thought if you make your own plastic sculpture, and use it in a poster or similar to highlight the problems posed by plastic pollution. My embarrassing example attempt is attached.
You could also include a couple of facts about the subject you’ve found from the internet to make your poster more informative and useful than mine.
Post your posters (save them as a PDF or JPEG) at our Virtual Scout Hut with a few words about it—www.leire-dunton.soutleics-scouts.org.uk/the-scout-hut
