Plastic waste has become global issue nowadays. It poses many severe impacts on ecosystems, social economics and human health. According to a study by Jambeck et.al. (2015), Vietnam is the top 4th country leaking plastic waste into the ocean every year due to mismanagement of waste. This project aims to raise awareness of youth generation in Vietnam on sustainable consumption and reducing their plastic “foot print” through involvement in designing an environmental module and extra curriculum activities such as clean-up, school networking, and monitoring plastic waste generate at their school. A network of green schools will be established. Each of the school plays the main role in running the student-based model to rethink, reduce, recycle of plastic among schools. The project also aims to promote and mobilize a policy to integrate the designed module into the official curriculum at Vietnam school.
