1. Meaningful youth engagement.
2. Gender justice!
3. Rights of local people
4. Capacity-building and resource provision
5. Transformative education

Education and awareness in our lives is crucial. If more people will start selecting carefully plastic products they use or the way they dispose it, the public behavior will gradually change, triggering a significant reduction of plastic pollution. #RethinkPlastics#ecofriendly
