The throw-away culture makes it happen that you leave this waste behind. This makes us, in a lot of moments, just skipping the moment of actually taking a look at what we throw away. \n\nBy laying all the collected plastic waste out and sorting it in categories it will give a clear overview. This can be done at a Collection Point or even after a cleanup. Lay it out and explain/talk/share with the people around you. \n" files: [] id: "y3OU0JTkWyCtjW0FQ8Be" _deleted: false time: "1-2 weeks" difficulty_level: "Easy" _created: "2019-12-02T13:12:42.365Z" votedUsefulBy: - "marilzahonorato-" - "jrespinozab" - "renataalvares" - "plas123" fileLink: "" creatorCountry: "pt" _id: "y3OU0JTkWyCtjW0FQ8Be" title: "Layout your plastic " category: _deleted: false _id: "CrZjHORWfxEl6iDrrPIO" label: "Guides" _created: "2022-09-18T08:51:47.196Z" _modified: "2022-09-18T08:51:47.196Z" steps: - caption: "" text: "The first step of this how-to is, choosing a couple of categories that you want to sort the plastic in.
