As the amount of plastic in the ocean continues to grow, National Geographic asks kids and families to join them in tackling the pressing plastic problem as they head back to school.
Launched in May, National Geographic’s “Planet or Plastic?” campaign—a multiyear initiative aimed at raising awareness of this challenge and reducing the amount of single-use plastic that enters the world’s oceans—has already made headlines in asking consumers to make a choice: Choose the planet over single-use plastic. Now, with the launch of “Kids vs. Plastic, a Tackling Plastic! GeoChallenge” and a special September Explorer Classroom program, National Geographic is asking kids to join the effort.
