Topic 4 - Reducing Waste

Topic 4 works with four United Nations Sustainability Development Goals: Quality Education; Responsible Consumption and Production; Life Below Water; and Life on Land as they relate to Reducing Waste.

In this section, you will be introduced to the types of waste and the waste hierarchy, which makes you think about when we no longer need an item on our boat.

It will also introduce you to Dame Ellen MacArthur and her work in the circular economy system that will help us to be more sustainable with the products we buy and use.

And finally, it will introduce you to plastic pollutants generated by sailors and Sailing Clubs and ideas on how to make changes to reduce plastic waste.

The Booklet provides the overall content and information on the topic.  The Trainer’s Guide has the lesson plans and steps that are to be completed in each section as well as the answers to the questions and activities of the Worksheet.
