The Impact
Our planet is choking on our waste
Plastic only starts degrading after 700 years and will only fully degrade in 1000 years. Plastic bags cause the death of many marine animals when they are mistaken for food. Kids can see that the problem is our consumption and our obsession with single-use items.
The Solution
Be part of the solution, not the pollution
Our Millennium Kids teams are looking for innovative solutions to waste issues and have created the Waste Free Movement. Kids know we can reduce our waste.
At Millennium Kids we are making upcycled reusable cloth bags from textiles which would otherwise be destined for landfill. These bags don’t pollute the earth, unlike standard single use plastic bags.
