I am generally prepared to do

without disposable plastic if

there is an attractive alternative.

I am well informed about the

effects of plastic pollution in the

worlds oceans.

I bring my own bags or

containers when I go shopping.

I take care not to use plastic in

everyday life, if possible.

I think that plastic packaging

should be banned as a matter of

There are enough alternatives to

plastic for product packaging for

product manufacturers.

I conscientiously separate plastic

rubbish from the rest of the

rubbish.

I buy only unpackaged fruit

and vegetables.

In our society we do a lot to

avoid plastic waste.

I have already talked to

friends or acquaintances

about plastic waste in the

oceans.

I am actively engaged

against marine pollution by

plastic, for example in an

association or through

donation

I know what microplastics

are.

I know how plastic waste

gets disposed of in my

country.

In our country, plastic can

easily be recycled.

Within the huge oceans in

the world, plastic parts in

the water hardly carry any

weight.
