Litter pick up with a marine education partner: a workplace project

The problem. Students hear about litter but rarely count and sort it. Who it helps. A workplace team backing the project. The people helped are teachers, students and parents in a school community. Employees take part as supervised adult mentors for a class, outside normal performance reviews. What you start with. Bags, gloves and a safe local area. What is delivered. Students collect and sort litter, count what they find and share it in an assembly. A named team lead runs it alongside normal work, and taking part is voluntary. How progress is known. Items collected and sorted are tallied. A short summary is shared with your team, with names and personal details left out. Main purpose. The main purpose is access to a useful product or service, or less waste going to landfill, for the community. Honest limits. Safety comes before collection. Child safe practice applies: parent or guardian permission, adult supervision, privacy protection and an inclusive setting. Ownership of your idea stays with you, and no job, funding or contract is promised. Track record. This is a new idea built on work Deals Colony has already documented. It has not been run yet.
