Aim of Badge
One of the targets of the UN Sustainable Development Goal 12 is to ensure that people everywhere have the relevant information and awareness for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature by 2030. There are 6 activities in this badge. Activity 1 is compulsory. Complete any three of the remaining parts 2-6.

Introduction
Activity No. 1: To help the girls identify plastics and their effect on their life and the environment if not disposed correctly.

Instructions
1. Discuss the items in your daily life which involve plastic. Ask each Six to make a list- start with getting up in the morning, and consider your daily routine until bedtime. List all the plastics you use in two columns– Once Off Use (e.g. sweet wrappers) and Regular Use (e.g. lunchbox).
2. For each item, talk about what happens to the plastics when you’re finished using them.
• Where might they endup?
• Do they decompose?
• What affects do they have on the environment?
3. Print out accompanying pages with bins and pieces of rubbish. For more pieces of rubbish, you could have the girls cut out images from a magazine or newspaper.
4. Scatter the images of rubbish around the room.
5. In their Sixes, ask the girls in a relay to collect the rubbish and bring it back to their Six corner and decide which bin it goes into.
6. Give each girl A Plastic Pledge sheet, talk through it and what it means, and ask if they wish to sign it.
