09:30 mins

Cheese, fruit, sweets, shampoo – almost everything we buy in the supermarket is wrapped in plastic, because plastic is cheap and practical as a packaging material. However, this creates huge mountains of packaging waste every year, which causes great problems in the world. Jana wants to know why so many goods are packed in plastic and whether there is another way. To find out, she meets scientist Lukas Sattlegger, who spent a month examining packaging in a supermarket. She also visits 11-year-old Carlos, whose family makes beeswax wraps.

Even though nature is so good to us! So, it is all the more important that everyone does his or her part to ensure that the earth continues to prosper in the future.Packaging waste, air pollution, consumption and global warming are topics that Knietzsche addresses. After all, the environment concerns us all.

The film was made as part of a school camp in Indonesia. Ten students from partner schools from all over Indonesia tell us about the beauty of their country and one of the biggest problems: waste. In an interview with the co-founder of a zero-waste shop, they show one way of dealing with one of the biggest problems in the world. Everyone can participate. Even small changes can make a difference in the world. It's never too late to start. Let’s revive the world!

Activity:

Hands-On And Upcycle!

After the screenings, workshop participants share their thoughts on upcycling, brainstorming on what we can do with all the plastic and paper we collect! We move from talk to action, making handmade paper sheets from waste paper lying around all our houses. The session encourages participants to creatively engage with the issues of waste reduction and reuse.

What you need to make your own handmade paper: 
  • A4 sheets with old art work you no longer need or magazine sheets
  • Water
  • Large kitchen sieve and bowl
  • Old rag cloth
  • Dried leaves, petals or bits of foil to decorate your paper (optional)
More details will be shared when you register!
