About our projectWe will explain on this web page, who trashman is and what you kids are going to do with this project.
Trashman is a superhero who wants to save the world from plastic. He tries to do this by asking help from children, so from you! Also Trashman tries to save his friend Benny the Bin. Because his friend Benny the Bin is ill. Benny the Bin lives from plastic trash, he can only survive if people throw plastic in him. But because people throw plastic on the street and not in the bin anymore, Benny the Bin is dying. The only way to save him, is if everybody starts throwing plastic in him again, and you can help with this! On this site you can find information about what happens with plastic that people don't throw in Benny the Bin. Also you can make worksheets about this to learn about what for effect it has on the nature, all that plastic in the ocean. |

Dear humans,
Hello it’s me Trashman. I’m saving the earth. I collect all the trash around the world. The world is getting worse and worse. Humans cause this. They pollute the world by throwing trash on the streets. This has bad consequences. Almost all the trash they throw on the street will end up in the rivers and the rivers will lead it to the ocean. In the ocean the plastic soup is created. This is a place where all the plastic/trash comes together. The plastic soup is almost the size of Russia and it will get bigger if we don’t do anything. Animals in the ocean think that this trash is food, they eat it and get sick or even die. I have a friend, called Benny the Bin. Benny the Bin and his family and friends are hungry. They eat trash. But as I said before, humans are throwing trash on the streets instead of in the bins. I want to stop this. But I can’t handle it on my own. I need your help. So, if you ate a chocolate bar, don’t throw the wrap paper in the nature, throw it in the bin. Also if you see trash on the streets, please pick it up and throw it in the bin. I hope that you will help me, together we stay stronger. Greetings Trashman. |
