ToysOfUs

To which topic does your idea refer?

Reuse and Upcycling

Describe your idea! How does it work to reduce / replace plastic? How will you involve others?

What do we do with our toys? Toys are mostly made out of plastic. All children have much too much of these in the Western countries. I aim for a campaign at my school. All pupils should bring their toys and we create a mountain or another object together. We can measure the weight of toys of each child, identify the different sorts, compare what we have collected. We can brainstorm what is needed to give them a second life or we can use a wall at our school to glue them as a memorial of our time.
Other idea is to compete with our classes or other schools. Or what stories we can tell with our toys after their use when we were young.
