Reflection
Armed with the rich history of plastics, the social, health, environmental and economic issues that accompany plastics, students have a beautiful opportunity to share with their loved ones the great difference we can make. The ultimate goal of this unit should be to alter the actions and consciousness of students and adults alike - hoping that they will allow their new-found habits to creep into others' lives just as plastic has crept into ours. The teacher/facilitator should allow students to revisit the discussion by asking if there are noticeable changes in consumption around them and ask for evidence. Students should continue to keep up with current events and share observations of change. Encourage them to let their voices be heard through their actions and to continue to be thoughtful citizens to protect themselves and others.
