Universidad ORT Uruguay, in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), is organizing the " Good Ideas to Combat Plastic Pollution" contest.
The contest is open to students who, in 2023, are in their 5th or 6th year of high school in any academic track at public or private institutions in Uruguay, or who are enrolled in the equivalent technical high school program at the University of Labor of Uruguay (UTU). Participants must submit their proposals in pairs.
World Environment Day 2023 provides an opportunity to amplify the public’s call on governments, cities, and businesses to invest in and implement solutions to end plastic pollution, emphasizing that every individual’s actions matter when it comes to reducing plastic pollution.
