Plastic is invading us everywhere: our streets, our beautiful Mediterranean and even our food. We are all ingesting microplastics, we are all trapped in a Plastic Diet ! According to WWF’s plastic campaign, we almost ingest about 5 grams of microplastics every week. Can you even imagine?





After visiting 4 countries (Italy, France, Greece and Turkey), the Blue Panda came to Marina Monastir in Tunisia to share the message #StopPlasticPollution with different kinds of audiences: youth, civil society, decision-makers and the tourists.



From the 27th until the 30th of October 2019, there will be different types of activities such as plastic reuse workshops for the kids, Panda Talks where scientists shared statistics and facts about plastic, brainstorming workshops and guided tours on the boat by a group of volunteers.



As a member of the WWF North Africa in Tunisia, I was glad to take part in one of my favorite activities in the Blue Panda programme which was a workshop with a group of high school students.
The workshop was a brainstorming in order to come up with a chart for plastic-free schools. 




I was surprisingly amazed by the amount of creativity those kids have. 
They were very imaginative, they proposed great solutions to replace the single-use plastic products we use in our daily life such as products in clay, glass or metal.

They were highly inspired by the 9 actions to reduce plastic pollution that was published by WWF MMI

Moreover, I was also very happy to share moments of laughter, joy and pure innocence with them.
I am glad to see a sample of the future generations that is fully aware of the problem we are facing with plastic pollution on our planet. 

Indeed, our planet has its savers from death : our kids !
